1 A psalm of David. Ascribe to the LORD, O mighty ones, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. |
2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. |
3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters. |
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic. |
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. |
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox. |
7 The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning. |
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the desert; the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh. |
9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, "Glory!" |
10 The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever. |
11 The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. |
