Psalm 29
Afferte Domino
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 11 verses
- 1
Ascribe to the LORD, you gods, *
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. - 2
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his Name; *
worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. - 3
The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders; *
the LORD is upon the mighty waters. - 4
The voice of the LORD is a powerful voice; *
the voice of the LORD is a voice of splendor. - 5
The voice of the LORD breaks the cedar trees; *
the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon; - 6
He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, *
and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox. - 7
The voice of the LORD splits the flames of fire; the voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; *
the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. - 8
The voice of the LORD makes the oak trees writhe *
and strips the forests bare. - 9
And in the temple of the LORD *
all are crying, "Glory!" - 10
The LORD sits enthroned above the flood; *
the LORD sits enthroned as King for evermore. - 11
The LORD shall give strength to his people; *
the LORD shall give his people the blessing of peace.
