Psalm XXIX.

1

Give to the Lord, ye mighty ones,
All glory, power and might:
Before his holy temple come,
And worship in his sight.

2

The voice of God with dreadful sound,
Doth rend the watery cloud:
The voice of God is powerful,
And speaks in thunders loud.

3

The voice of God the Cedars tall,
Of Lebanon doth break:
It makes the mighty hills to leap,
And strongest mountains quake.

42

4

The voice of God divides the flames,
And lightnings spreads around:
It makes the very wilderness,
To tremble at the sound.

5

The voice of God the thickets tears,
And lays the forrests bare:
It frights the beasts, and makes the hinds
To cast their young for fear.

6

Within his temple every one,
Proclaims his power aloud;
Whose seat is on the waters high,
And throne upon a cloud.

7

He is that great and glorious King,
Whose power shall never cease:
Who to his People strength will give,
And bless them all with peace.
