Psalm 29

⁷Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

⁸Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and enter His courts.

¹¹Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels encircling the throne, and the living creatures and the elders. And their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands.

¹²In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

¹⁶Give glory to the Lord your God before He brings darkness, before your feet stumble on the dusky mountains. You wait for light, but He turns it into deep gloom and thick darkness.

¹⁷But if you do not listen, I will weep in secret because of your pride. My eyes will overflow with tears, because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.

¹²For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly destroyed.

³¹Envoys will arrive from Egypt; Cush will stretch out her hands to God.

³²Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord—Selah

²⁸Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

²⁹Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness;

⁸Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and enter His courts.

⁹Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

²⁸Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

²⁹Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness;

³Your people shall be willing on Your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, to You belongs the dew of Your youth.

²¹Then Jehoshaphat consulted with the people and appointed those who would sing to the Lord and praise the splendor of His holiness. As they went out before the army, they were singing: “Give thanks to the Lord, for His loving devotion endures forever.”

⁴One thing I have asked of the Lord; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and seek Him in His temple.

⁹For You, O Lord, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

²Listen closely to the thunder of His voice and the rumbling that comes from His mouth.

³He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole sky and sends it to the ends of the earth.

³The floodwaters have risen, O Lord; the rivers have raised their voice; the seas lift up their pounding waves.

⁴Above the roar of many waters—the mighty breakers of the sea—the Lord on high is majestic.

³³Then Moses departed from Pharaoh, went out of the city, and spread out his hands to the Lord. The thunder and hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.

¹⁶The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.

¹⁷The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.

¹⁶On the third day, when morning came, there was thunder and lightning. A thick cloud was upon the mountain, and a very loud blast of the ram’s horn went out, so that all the people in the camp trembled.

¹³The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded—hailstones and coals of fire.

¹⁴He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.

⁵The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.

⁹For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.

³³to Him who rides upon the highest heavens of old; behold, His mighty voice resounds.

¹⁵The Lord made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

¹⁶When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

³⁶All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

⁶Hear the uproar from the city; listen to the voice from the temple! It is the voice of the Lord, repaying His enemies what they deserve!

¹³against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,

¹⁵But the thornbush replied, ‘If you really are anointing me as king over you, come and find refuge in my shade. But if not, may fire come out of the thornbush and consume the cedars of Lebanon.’

¹⁶The trees of the Lord have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted,

²²God brought them out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox.

⁹which the Sidonians call Sirion but the Amorites call Senir—

⁴the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

⁵Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

²³I looked at the earth, and it was formless and void; I looked to the heavens, and they had no light.

²⁴I looked at the mountains, and behold, they were quaking; all the hills were swaying.

¹⁰But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.

⁶He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations; the ancient mountains crumbled; the perpetual hills collapsed. His ways are everlasting.

⁷I saw the tents of Cushan in distress; the curtains of Midian were trembling.

¹⁸Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.

²³So Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So the Lord rained down hail upon the land of Egypt.

²So fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died in the presence of the Lord.

⁵Part Your heavens, O Lord, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

⁶Flash forth Your lightning and scatter them; shoot Your arrows and rout them.

³⁵Can you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?

³He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole sky and sends it to the ends of the earth.

²⁶and they went back to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They brought back a report for the whole congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.

⁶He shakes the earth from its place, so that its foundations tremble.

³though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge. Selah

⁷Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.

¹³Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place at the wrath of the Lord of Hosts on the day of His burning anger.

²¹“Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I am about to shake the heavens and the earth:

²Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

³though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge. Selah

¹“Do you know when mountain goats give birth? Have you watched the doe bear her fawn?

²Can you count the months they are pregnant? Do you know the time they give birth?

⁸O Lord, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.

⁴⁶“Son of man, set your face toward the south, preach against it, and prophesy against the forest of the Negev.

⁴⁷Say to the forest of the Negev: Hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord God says: I am about to ignite in you a fire, and it will devour all your trees, both green and dry. The blazing flame will not be quenched, and by it every face from south to north will be scorched.

⁹Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.

¹A song of ascents. Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who serve by night in the house of the Lord!

²Lift up your hands to the sanctuary and bless the Lord!

¹⁷Now to the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

¹⁷And behold, I will bring floodwaters upon the earth to destroy every creature under the heavens that has the breath of life. Everything on the earth will perish.

¹⁶The Lord is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.

⁴¹Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

⁸Who enclosed the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb,

⁹when I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its blanket,

¹But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.

²The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

³¹But those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

²⁴‘May the Lord bless you and keep you;

²⁵may the Lord cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;

¹⁶Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.

¹⁰Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

³³I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”

²⁹He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak.
