Psalms 29

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 A psalm of David. Give to the LORD, you heavenly beings, give to the LORD glory and might;	1 [Psalm Of David] Give Yahweh his due, sons of God, give Yahweh his due of glory and strength,
2 Give to the LORD the glory due God's name. Bow down before the LORD'S holy splendor!	2 give Yahweh the glory due to his name, adore Yahweh in the splendour of holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over the mighty waters.	3 Yahweh's voice over the waters, the God of glory thunders; Yahweh over countless waters,
4 The voice of the LORD is power; the voice of the LORD is splendor.	4 Yahweh's voice in power, Yahweh's voice in splendour;
5 The voice of the LORD cracks the cedars; the LORD splinters the cedars of Lebanon,	5 Yahweh's voice shatters cedars, Yahweh shatters cedars of Lebanon,
6 Makes Lebanon leap like a calf, and Sirion like a young bull.	6 he makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD strikes with fiery flame;	7 Yahweh's voice carves out lightning-shafts,
8 the voice of the LORD rocks the desert; the LORD rocks the desert of Kadesh.	8 Yahweh's voice convulses the desert, Yahweh convulses the desert of Kadesh,
9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. All in his palace say, "Glory!"	9 Yahweh's voice convulses terebinths, strips forests bare. In his palace al cry, 'Glory!'
10 The LORD sits enthroned above the flood! The LORD reigns as king forever!	10 Yahweh was enthroned for the flood, Yahweh is enthroned as king for ever.
11 May the LORD give might to his people; may the LORD bless his people with peace!	11 Yahweh will give strength to his people, Yahweh blesses his people with peace.
