1Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,y

ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.*

2Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;

worship the Lord in holy splendor.*

3The voice of the Lord is over the waters;

the God of glory thunders,

the Lord, over mighty waters.*

4The voice of the Lord is powerful;

the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.*

5The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;

the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.*

6He makes Lebanon skip like a calf

and Sirion like a young wild ox.*

7The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.

8The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;

the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.*

9The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirlz

and strips the forest bare,

and in his temple all say, “Glory!”*

10The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;

the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.*

11May the Lord give strength to his people!

May the Lord bless his people with peace!*
