The Book of Psalms

A psalm of David. Give praise to Yahweh, you sons of God! Give praise to Yahweh for his glory and strength.

Give to Yahweh the glory that his name deserves. Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness.

The voice of Yahweh is heard over the waters; the God of glory, Yahweh thunders over many waters.

The voice of Yahweh is powerful; the voice of Yahweh is majestic.

The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars; Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf and Sirion like a young ox.

The voice of Yahweh sends out flames of fire.

The voice of Yahweh shakes the wilderness; Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of Yahweh causes the oaks to twist and strips the forests bare. Everyone in his temple says, “Glory!”

Yahweh sits as king over the flood; Yahweh sits as king forever.

Yahweh gives strength to his people; Yahweh blesses his people with peace.

Ascribe to the LORD, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Worship the LORD in holy array.

The LORD’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters.

The LORD’s voice is powerful. The LORD’s voice is full of majesty.

The LORD’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.

The LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

The LORD’s voice shakes the wilderness. The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The LORD’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”

The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.

The LORD will give strength to his people. The LORD will bless his people with peace.
