1 (A Psalm of David.) Ascribe to the Lord, O sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in holy array.

3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; The God of glory thunders, The Lord is over many 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; Yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6 And He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, And Sirion like a young wild ox.

7 The voice of the Lord hews out flames of fire.

8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; The Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer to calve, And strips the forests bare, And in His temple everything says, "Glory!"

10 The Lord sat [as King] at the flood; Yes, the Lord sits as King forever.

11 The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace.
