Psalm 29
Darby Translation · 11 verses
A Psalm of David.
1Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty ones, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;2Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; worship Jehovah in holy splendour.3The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth, — Jehovah upon great waters.4The voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.5The voice of Jehovah breaketh cedars; yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon:6And he maketh them to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.7The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire.8The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.9The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory!10Jehovah sitteth upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sitteth as king for ever.11Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.Darby's Synopsis
Psalm 29 summons the mighty to hear the mightier voice of Jehovah, to own Him and worship before Him according to the holy order of His house, celebrating the power of His voice in universal creation; but there is a place of intelligent worship where His glory is understood — His temple where men are to come. But this Jehovah is above the haughty raging of the surges of created strength; He sits King for ever above and in spite of all.
