Psalm 29

Psalm

A psalm written by David

29 Yahweh, I call out to you;

You are like a huge rock on top of which I am safe.

Do not refuse to answer me

because if you are silent, I will soon be with those who are in their graves.

2 Listen to me when I call out for you to help me,

when I lift up my hands as I face your very holy place in your sacred tent.

3 Do not drag me away with wicked people,

with those who do wicked deeds,

with those who pretend to act peacefully toward others

while in their inner beings, they hate them.

4 Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done;

punish them for their evil deeds.

5 Yahweh, they do not pay attention to the wonderful things that you have done and that you have created;

so get rid of them permanently and do not let them appear again!

6 Praise Yahweh

because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!

7 Yahweh makes me strong and protects me like a shield;

I trust in him, and he helps me.

So I was glad in my inner being,

and from my inner being I praise him as I sing to him.

8 Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us;

he saves me, the one he appointed to be king.

9 Yahweh, save your people;

bless those who belong to you.

Take care of them like a shepherd takes care of his sheep;

take care of them forever.

Psalm

A psalm written by David

29 Mighty people, praise Yahweh!

Praise him because he is very glorious and powerful.

2 Praise Yahweh with the glory his names deserves.

Bow down and worship Yahweh because he is holy and his holiness shines out from him with wonderful beauty.

3 Yahweh’s voice is heard above the oceans;

the glorious God thunders.

He appears over the huge oceans.

4 His voice is powerful and majestic.

5 Yahweh’s voice breaks great cedar trees,

the cedars that grow in Lebanon.

6 He causes earthquakes to shake the region of Lebanon as a young cow jumps;

he causes Sirion (also called Mount Hermon) to shake as a young bull jumps.

7 Yahweh’s voice tells the lightning to flash.

8 His voice causes the desert to shake;

he shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 Yahweh’s voice makes the large trees shake,

and strips the leaves from the trees

while the people in the temple shout, “Praise God!”

10 Yahweh rules over the flood that covered the earth;

he is our king who will rule forever.

11 Yahweh enables his people to be strong,

and he blesses them by causing things to go well for them.
