Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

the psalms of the passion

Afferte Domino Psalm 29

Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings,

   ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

Ascribe to the LORD glory of his name;

   worship the LORD in holy splendor.

The voice of the LORD is over the waters;

   the God of glory thunders,

   the LORD, over mighty waters.

The voice of the LORD is powerful;

   the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;

   the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,

   and Sirion like a young wild ox.

The voice of the LORD flashes forth flames of fire.

The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;

   the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the LORD causes the oaks to whirl,

   and stips the forest bare;

   and in his temple all say, “Glory!”

The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;

   the LORD sits enthroned as king forever.

May the LORD give strength to his people!

   May the LORD bless his people with peace!

Enter into a space of silence and solitude with the psalm.
