29
A Psalm by David [Beloved].
Context: 2 Sam 6 Possibly, celebrating God’s magnificent power while the Ark of Covenant returns. (2 Sam 6:2-5)
1 Ascribe to Adonai, you sons of the mighty,
ascribe to Adonai kavod ·weighty glory· and strength.
2 Ascribe to Adonai the kavod ·weighty glory· due to his name.
Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to worship Adonai in holy array.
3 Adonai’s voice is on the waters.
The God of kavod ·weighty glory· thunders, even Adonai on many waters.
4 Adonai’s voice is powerful.
Adonai’s voice is full of majesty.
5 Adonai’s voice breaks the cedars.
Yes, Adonai breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes them also to skip like a calf;
Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.
7 Adonai’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.
8 Adonai’s voice shakes the wilderness.
Adonai shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 Adonai’s voice makes the deer calve,
and strips the forests bare.
In his temple everything says, “Kavod ·Weighty glory·!”
10 Adonai sat enthroned at the Flood. *Note: “Enthroned at the Flood” references back to Genesis 1.
Yes, Adonai sits as King forever.
11 Adonai will give strength to his people.
Adonai will bless his people with peace.
