Chapter 29: seven mentions of The Lord's Voice in these lyric verses

from CEB Study Bible & Notes

GENERAL EDITOR: Joel B. Green

Common English Bible translation

published with study notes 2013

Psalm 29

a Psalm of David

You, Divine beings!

Give to the Lord --

give to the Lord glory and power!

Give to the Lord the glory

due his name!

Bow down to the Lord

in holy splendor!

The Lord's voice is over

the waters; the glorious God

thunders; the Lord is over

the Mighty waters.

The Lord's voice is strong;

The Lord's voice is majestic.

The Lord's voice breaks

cedar trees -- yes, the Lord

shatters the cedars of

Lebanon.  He makes

Lebanon jump around like

a young bull, makes Sirion

jump around like a young

wild ox.  The Lord's voice

unleashes fiery flames;

The Lord's voice shakes

the wilderness -- yes,

the Lord shakes the

wilderness of Kadesh.

The Lord's voice convulses

the oaks, strips the forests

bare,  but in his Temple

everyone shouts, "Glory!"

The Lord sits enthroned

over the floodwaters;

the Lord sits enthroned --

king forever!

Let the Lord give strength

to his people!  Let the Lord

bless his people with peace!
