Psalms 29

David calls on the **sons of God** (bene elohim) to ascribe glory and strength to **YHWH** in the splendor of holiness. The **voice of YHWH** is powerful and majestic, breaking the cedars of Lebanon, making mountains skip, flashing fire, shaking the wilderness of Kadesh, causing deer to calve and stripping forests bare, while **YHWH** sits enthroned as King forever over the flood, giving strength and peace to His people.[1][2][3]
