Psalm 29: New Translation for Upper Room Publishers by Gary Chamberlain (1984 publication of THE_PSALMS)

Give to the Lord, you creatures of heaven,
Give to the Lord all glory and power.
Give to the Lord a glorious name;
Bow down to the Lord in holy splendor.

The voice of the Lord sounds over the oceans --
Crashing thunder above the deep seas.
The voice of the Lord is power;
The voice of the Lord is splendor.

The voice of the Lord splits the cedars;
God splinters the cedars of Lebanon.
God makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
Mount Hermon skip like a wild young ox.

Slashing the sky with lightning-swords,
The Lord's voice makes the desert writhe;
The desert of Kadesh quakes.
In terror, the deer flee God's thunder,
That snaps the limbs from the trees;
In the temple God's glory appears!

The throne of the Lord is above sky and sea;
The Lord will rule forever.
Lord, give strength to your people;
Lord, bless your people with peace.
