📖 Psalms 29
Psalms 29 opens with these words: “Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.” The line to keep is Psalms 29:3: “Yahweh’s voice is on the waters.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.” Psalms 29 opens with these words: “Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.” The line to keep is Psalms 29:3: “Yahweh’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters.” Carry the word “voice” from that verse into the rest of the day.
The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 29:3: “Yahweh’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in Psalms 29? Then try this: Read “Yahweh’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
