Ascribe Glory to the LORD

A Psalm of David.

¹ Ascribe to the LORD, O 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 is heard over many 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 shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶ He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,

and Sirion like a young wild ox.

⁷ The voice of the LORD

strikes^* with 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 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 His people strength;

the LORD blesses His people with peace.
