Ascribe to the Lord Glory

A Psalm of David.

 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,^[a]
   ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
² Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
   worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.^[b]

³ The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord, over many 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;
the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶ He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf,
and Sirion like a young wild ox.

⁷ The voice of the Lord flashes forth 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 give birth^[c]
and strips the forests bare,
and in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

¹⁰ The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.
¹¹ May the Lord give strength to his people!
May the Lord bless^[d] his people with peace!
