Ascribe to the Lord
A Psalm by David.
1 Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to his name.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters.
The God of glory thunders,
the Lord, over mighty waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful.
The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars.
Yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes them also to skip like a calf,
Lebanon and 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 wilderness.
The Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer calve,
and strips the forests bare.
In his temple everything says, “Glory!”
10 The Lord sat enthroned 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.
