Psalm 29 (A fresh translation – for Trinity Sunday)

Give glory and honour and power and authority
to the name of the LORD,
all you children of God!
Worship the LORD in holy awe;
bow down in the overwhelming presence
of our God.

Listen to the presence of the LORD over the waters;
hear the majesty of the name of the LORD;
its power and authority
above the roar of the flood.

Cedar panels in the Temple
splinter at the voice of the LORD,
lightning flashes rip open the sky;
animals give birth before their time,
and the earth trembles.

A shout of "Glory!" rises to the LORD,
enthroned in splendour,
the LORD gives protection
and blessing and life for ever.
Amen.
