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.

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.
