Psalm 29

29 You, divine beings! Give to the Lord—
    give to the Lord glory and power!
² Give to the Lord the glory due his name!
    Bow down to the Lord in holy splendor!

³ The Lord’s voice is over the waters;
    the glorious God thunders;
        the Lord is over the mighty waters.
⁴ The Lord’s voice is strong;
    the Lord’s voice is majestic.
⁵ The Lord’s voice breaks cedar trees—
    yes, the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶ He makes Lebanon jump around like a young bull,
    makes Sirion jump around like a young wild ox.
⁷ The Lord’s voice unleashes fiery flames;
⁸     the Lord’s voice shakes the wilderness—
        yes, the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
⁹ The Lord’s voice convulses the oaks,
    strips the forests bare,
        but in his temple everyone shouts, “Glory!”
¹⁰ The Lord sits enthroned over the floodwaters;
    the Lord sits enthroned—king forever!

¹¹ Let the Lord give strength to his people!
    Let the Lord bless his people with peace!

The Message does such a wonderful job with the imagery of the Psalms!  Here it is on Psalm 29:

A David Psalm

 ^1-2 Bravo, God, bravo! Gods and all angels shout, "Encore!"
   In awe before the glory,
      in awe before God's visible power.
   Stand at attention!
      Dress your best to honor him!

 ³ God thunders across the waters,
   Brilliant, his voice and his face, streaming brightness—
   God, across the flood waters.

 ⁴ God's thunder tympanic,
   God's thunder symphonic.

 ⁵ God's thunder smashes cedars,
   God topples the northern cedars.

 ⁶ The mountain ranges skip like spring colts,
   The high ridges jump like wild kid goats.

 ^7-8 God's thunder spits fire.
   God thunders, the wilderness quakes;
   He makes the desert of Kadesh shake.

 ⁹ God's thunder sets the oak trees dancing
   A wild dance, whirling; the pelting rain strips their branches.
   We fall to our knees—we call out, "Glory!"

 ¹⁰ Above the floodwaters is God's throne
      from which his power flows,
      from which he rules the world.

 ¹¹ God makes his people strong.
   God gives his people peace.
