Psalms

A Psalm by David.

1Ascribe to the LORD, you sons of the mighty,ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

2Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name.Worship the LORD in holy array.

3The LORD’s voice is on the waters.The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters.

4The LORD’s voice is powerful.The LORD’s voice is full of majesty.

5The LORD’s voice 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 like a young, wild ox.

7The LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

8The LORD’s voice shakes the wilderness. The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9The LORD’s voice makes the deer calve,and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”

10The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood.Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.

11The LORD will give strength to his people.The LORD will bless his people with peace.
