Psalms 29 — The Voice of the Lord Is Powerful

Summary

Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength. The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars. The Lord sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever. The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.
