Psalm 29

1 The Prophet exhorteth the princes and rulers of the worlde, (which for the moſte parte thinke there is no God) 3 At the leaſt to feare him for the thunders & tempeſtes, for feare whereof all creatures tremble. 11 And thogh thereby God threateneth ſinners yet is he alwaies merciful to his, & moueth thẽ thereby to praiſe his Name.
¶ A Pſalme of Dauid.
1.GIue vnto the Lord, ye ſonnes of the mightie: giue vnto the Lord glorie and ſtrength.
2.Giue vnto the Lord glorie due vnto his Name: worſhip the Lord in the glorious Sanctuarie.
3.The voice of the Lord is vpon the waters: the God of glorie maketh it to thūder: the Lord is vpon the great waters.
4.The voice of the Lord is mightie: the voice of the Lord is glorious.
5.The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedres: yea, the Lord breaketh the cedres of Lebanón.
6.He maketh thē alſo to leape like a calfe: Lebanón alſo and Shiriōn like a yong vnicorne.
7.The voice of the Lord deuideth the flames of fyre.
8.The voyce of the Lord maketh the wildernes to tremble: the Lord maketh the wildernes of Kadéſh to tremble.
9.The voice of the Lord maketh the hindes to calue, & diſcouereth the foreſts: therefore in his Temple doeth euerie man ſpeake of his glorie.
10.The Lord ſitteth vpon the flood, and the Lord doeth remaine King for euer.
11.The Lord ſhal giue ſtrēgth vnto his people: ye Lord ſhal bleſſe his people wt peace.
