29 (1) | Psalm 29 Version 1 | LM | |
GIVE to the Lord, ye sons of fame, Give to the Lord renown and power, Ascribe due honours to His name, And His eternal might adore. |
|||
2 | O the immense, the amazing height, The boundless grandeur of our God; Who treads the world beneath His feet, And sways the nations with His rod. |
||
3 | The Lord proclaims His strength aloud, Upon the oceans and the land, Speaking above the threatening cloud, And lightnings blaze at His command. |
||
4 | Where’er He turns His powerful voice, There shall the strongest cedars break, Mountains shall tremble at the noise, And valleys roar, and deserts quake. |
||
5 | Sovereign above the mighty flood, The Saviour reigns forever King; But makes His church His blest abode, Where we His glorious praises sing. |
||
6 | In gentler language, here, the Lord The counsels of His love imparts; Amid the raging storm, His Word Speaks peace and blessing to our hearts. |

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
