Psalm 29(28) Afferte Domino

O give the Lord, you sons of God,

    give the Lord glory and power;
give the Lord the glory of his name.
    Adore the Lord in his holy court.

The Lord’s voice resounding on the waters,
    the Lord on the immensity of waters;
the voice of the Lord, full of power,
    the voice of the Lord, full of splendor.

The Lord’s voice shattering the cedars,
    the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon;
he makes Lebanon leap like a calf
    and Sirion like a young wild ox.

(The Lord’s voice flashes flames of fire.)

The Lord’s voice shaking the wilderness,
    the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh;
the Lord’s voice rending the oak tree
    and stripping the forest bare.

The God of glory thunders.
    In his temple they all cry: “Glory!”
The Lord sat enthroned over the flood;
    the Lord sits as king for ever.

The Lord will give strength to his people,
    the Lord will bless his people with peace.
