Psalms 29

Which worship songs are based on Psalms 29?

  1. Worship You — Canton Jones (2011) Psalms 29:2

    The second verse uses the psalm's distinctive wording about worship offered in holy splendor. The same wording also appears in Psalm 96:9 and 1 Chronicles 16:29, so the precise source cannot be determined.

  2. Nothing Stands Between Us — John Mark McMillan (2017) Psalms 29:3-9

    The portrayal of God's voice being heard amid thunder and lightning strongly recalls Psalm 29, where the divine voice resounds through a violent storm.

  3. Mighty God — Smokie Norful (2014) Psalms 29:3-4

    The opening combines divine speech, power over the sea, and a thunderous voice, closely matching the psalm’s depiction of God’s powerful voice over the waters.

  4. Iba — Nathaniel Bassey & Dunsin Oyekan & Dasola Akinbule (2023) Psalms 29:3-5

    The Yoruba passage follows the psalm's sequence of God's voice over the waters, its power over Lebanon's cedars, and his everlasting reign above the flood.

  5. The Reckoning (How Long) — Andrew Peterson (2010) Psalms 29:3-9

    The opening identifies thunder with God's commanding voice and depicts trees yielding to its power. This combination closely recalls the psalm's storm imagery, in which God's thunderous voice overpowers the trees and wilderness.

Psalms 29 (King James Version)

1 Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.

4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 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.

10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.

11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
