Day 5 Month 7


Psalms for Day 5

Chapter 29

The Name of God appears eighteen times in this psalm,
corresponding to which our Sages established eighteen blessings-the Amidah. The
entire psalm can be interpreted as referring to the giving of the Torah and the
ingathering of the exiles.

1. A
psalm by David. Render to the Lord, children of the mighty, render to the Lord
honor and strength. 2. Render to the Lord the honor due to His Name; bow down to
the Lord in resplendent holiness. 3. The voice of the Lord is over the waters,
the God of glory thunders; the Lord is over mighty waters. 4. The voice of the
Lord resounds with might; the voice of the Lord resounds with majesty. 5. The
voice of the Lord breaks cedars; the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon. 6. He
makes them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox. 7. The
voice of the Lord strikes flames of fire. 8. The voice of the Lord makes the
desert tremble; the Lord causes the desert of Kadesh to tremble. 9. The voice of
the Lord causes the does to calve, and strips the forests bare; and in His
Sanctuary all proclaim His glory. 10. The Lord sat [as King] at the Flood; the
Lord will sit as King forever. 11. The Lord will give strength to His people;
the Lord will bless His people with peace.
