Psalm 29. Afferte Domino.

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.
