Shalom,

We read Psalm 29 today in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today! Just in case you are not yet joining us in this Reading Plan, I am posting this Psalm for you right here!

A Psalm of David.

1 Ascribe to the Lord, O sons of the mighty, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. 2 Give to the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness or in holy array. 3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders; the Lord is upon many (great) waters. 4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. 5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion (Mount Hermon) like a young, wild ox. 7 The voice of the Lord splits and flashes forth forked lightning. 8 The voice of the Lord makes the wilderness tremble; the Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the Lord makes the hinds bring forth their young, and His voice strips bare the forests, while in His temple everyone is saying, Glory! 10 The Lord sat as King over the deluge; the Lord [still] sits as King [and] forever! 11 The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.

Above is from the Classic Amplified Bible. Here is The Passion Translation of this same Psalm!

The Glory-God Thunders

King David’s poetic praise to God for the last days

1 Proclaim his majesty, all you mighty sons of Yahweh,  giving all the glory and strength back to him! 2 Be in awe before his majesty.  Be in awe before such power and might! Come worship wonderful Yahweh, arrayed in all his splendor, bowing in worship as he appears in the beauty of holiness. Give him the honor due his name. Worship him wearing the glory-garments of your holy, priestly calling! 3–4 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! 5 His tympanic thunder topples the strongest of trees. His symphonic sound splinters the mighty forests. 6 Now he moves Zion’s mountains by the might of his voice, shaking the snowy peaks with his earsplitting sound! 7 The lightning-fire flashes, striking as he speaks. 8 God reveals himself when he makes the fault lines quake, shaking deserts, speaking his voice. 9 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!” 10 Above the furious flood, the Enthroned One reigns, the King-God rules with eternity at his side.  11 This is the one who gives his strength and might to his people. This is the Lord giving us his kiss of peace. 

Just meditate on there two versions and allow Holy Spirit, your own personal, private TEACHER, show you just what the God of Bible means when He spoken these things! Remember, as a child of the living God, ALL good promises belong to YOU! Here is Hillsong Worship with "Surrounds Me":

Shalom in Him!
