1A Psalm of David. ASCRIBE TO the Lord, O sons of the mighty, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2Give to the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness or in holy array.
3The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders; the Lord is upon many (great) waters.
4The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion (Mount Hermon) like a young, wild ox.
7The voice of the Lord splits and flashes forth forked lightning.
8The voice of the Lord makes the wilderness tremble; the Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.
9The voice of the Lord makes the hinds bring forth their young, and His voice strips bare the forests, while in His temple everyone is saying, Glory!
10The Lord sat as King over the deluge; the Lord [still] sits as King [and] forever!
11The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.
