Psalms 29:2

Give to the Lord (Yahweh) the glory of his name,
bow down before the Lord (Yahweh) in his holy majesty (beauty).
[The psalm begins in verses 1-2 with an exhortation to "give," Hebr. jahav. It means to acknowledge and attribute honor and power to someone. The exhortation is not directed at humans but at heavenly beings, literally "sons of gods." This is the first time that the Hebrew word elim, gods, is used in the Psalms. The phrase "sons of God" is also used in Job 1:6 and Ps. 89:7. The expression is also found in other Oriental languages, where it has a broad meaning of angels, spiritual beings, demons, idols, spirits of dead kings, and sometimes even living kings who were considered gods. The psalm calls on all these divine beings to bow down before the one living God. Although formally these idols are addressed, it becomes an indirect call to the Israelites and God's people, who are sometimes tempted to worship these idols, to realize that they must bow down before God.]
