Psalm 29
by William D. Ramey

A      Ascribe to the LORD, O sons of the mighty,
        Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength,
        Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to His name;
        Worship the LORD in holy array (vv. 1-2)

              The voice of the LORD is upon the waters;
       B     The God of glory thunders,
              The LORD is over many waters (v. 3)

                   The voice of the LORD is powerful,
              C   The voice of the LORD is majestic.
                   The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; (vv. 4-5a)

                        YES, THE LORD BREAKS IN PIECES THE CEDARS OF LEBANON.
                   X        AND HE MAKES LEBANON SKIP LIKE A CALF,
                         AND SIRION LIKE A YOUNG WILD OX. (vv. 5b-6a)

                    The voice of the LORD hews out flames of fire.
             C'    The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness.
                    The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. (vv. 7-8)

             The voice of the LORD makes the deer to calve,
      B'    And strips the forests bare
             And in His temple everything says, "Glory!" (v. 9)

A'    The LORD sat as King at the flood;
       Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.
       The LORD will give strength to His people;
       The LORD will bless His people with peace. (vv. 10-11)
