‹ Chapter 27 Psalms — All Chapters Chapter 29 ›

1 A Psalm of David on the occasion of the solemn assembly of the Tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, ye sons of God, Bring to the Lord young rams; Bring to the Lord glory and honor. 2 Bring to the Lord glory, due to his name; Worship the Lord in his holy court. 3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: The God of glory has thundered: The Lord is upon many waters. 4 The voice of the Lord is mighty; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty. 5 There is the voice of the Lord who breaks the cedars; The Lord will break the cedars of Lebanon. 6 And he will beat them small, even Lebanon itself, like a calf; And the beloved one is as a young unicorn. 7 There is a voice of the Lord who divides a flame of fire. 8 A voice of the Lord who shakes the wilderness; The Lord will shake the wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the Lord strengthens the hinds, And will uncover the thickets: And in his temple everyone speaks of his glory. 10 The Lord will dwell on the waterflood: And the Lord will sit a king forever. 11 The Lord will give strength to his people; The Lord will bless his people with peace.
