A psalm of David.

     1             Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,

         ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

     2             Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;

         worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

     3             The voice of the Lord is over the waters;

         the God of glory thunders,

         the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.

     4             The voice of the Lord is powerful;

         the voice of the Lord is majestic.

     5             The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;

         the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

     6             He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,

         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 desert;

         the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.

     9             The voice of the Lord twists the oaks

         and strips the forests bare.

                  And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

     10            The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;

         the Lord is enthroned as King forever.

     11            The Lord gives strength to his people;

                                    the Lord blesses his people with peace.
