Psalms 29:3-9
Psalms 29:3-9 The Passion Translation (TPT)
The voice of the Lord echoes through the skies and seas. The Glory-God reigns as he thunders in the clouds. So powerful is his voice, so brilliant and bright— how majestic as he thunders over the great waters! His tympanic thunder topples the strongest of trees. His symphonic sound splinters the mighty forests. Now he moves Zion’s mountains by the might of his voice, shaking the snowy peaks with his earsplitting sound! The lightning-fire flashes, striking as he speaks. God reveals himself when he makes the fault lines quake, shaking deserts, speaking his voice. God’s mighty voice makes the deer to give birth. His thunderbolt-voice lays the forest bare. In his temple all fall before him with each one shouting, “Glory, glory, the God of glory!”
Psalms 29:3-9 The Message (MSG)
GOD thunders across the waters, Brilliant, his voice and his face, streaming brightness— GOD, across the flood waters. GOD’s thunder tympanic, GOD’s thunder symphonic. GOD’s thunder smashes cedars, GOD topples the northern cedars. The mountain ranges skip like spring colts, The high ridges jump like wild kid goats. GOD’s thunder spits fire. GOD thunders, the wilderness quakes; He makes the desert of Kadesh shake. GOD’s thunder sets the oak trees dancing A wild dance, whirling; the pelting rain strips their branches. We fall to our knees—we call out, “Glory!”
Psalms 29:3-9 King James Version (KJV)
The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: The God of glory thundereth: The LORD is upon many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; The voice of the LORD is full of majesty. The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; Yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: And in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.
