Psalm 29:

Leader:  Ascribe to the Lord, you gods,

          ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

 

All:  Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his Name;

          worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

 

Men:  The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;

                   the God of glory thunders;

          the Lord is upon the mighty waters.

 

Women:  The voice of the Lord is a powerful voice;

          the voice of the Lord is a voice of splendor.

 

Men:  The voice of the Lord breaks the cedar trees;

          the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon;

 

Women:  He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,

          and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.

 

Men:  The voice of the Lord splits the flames of fire;

          the voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;

          the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

 

Women:  The voice of the Lord makes the oak trees writhe

          and strips the forests bare.

All:  And in the temple of the Lord

          all are crying, “Glory!”

The Lord sits enthroned above the flood;

          the Lord sits enthroned as King for evermore.

The Lord shall give strength to his people;   

          the Lord shall give his people the blessing of peace.
