Psalm 29 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition

The Voice of the Lord in a Storm

(A psalm by David.)

¹ All you angels in heaven, honor the glory and power of the Lord!

² Honor the wonderful name of the Lord, and worship the Lord most holy and glorious.

³ The voice of the Lord echoes over the oceans. The glorious Lord God thunders above the roar of the raging sea,

⁴ and his voice is mighty and marvelous.

⁵ The voice of the Lord destroys the cedar trees; the Lord shatters cedars on Mount Lebanon.

⁶ God makes Mount Lebanon skip like a calf and Mount Hermon jump like a wild ox.

⁷ The voice of the Lord makes lightning flash

⁸ and the desert tremble. And because of the Lord, the desert near Kadesh shivers and shakes.

⁹ The voice of the Lord makes deer give birth before their time. Forests are stripped of leaves, and the temple is filled with shouts of praise.

¹⁰ The Lord rules on his throne, king of the flood forever.

¹¹ Pray that our Lord will make us strong and give us peace.
