1 Honor* the Lord, children of God,* honor his glory and strength.

2 Honor the Lord for his glorious character, bow in reverence to the Lord in his brilliant holiness.

3 The Lord's voice sounds over the sea. The God of glory thunders. The Lord thunders over the vast ocean.

4 The Lord's voice is powerful; the Lord's voice is majestic;

5 the Lord's voice shatters the cedars, even breaking the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He makes the mountains of Lebanon skip like a calf, and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.

7 The Lord's voice blazes out like lightning flashes.

8 The Lord's voice causes an earthquake in the desert; the desert of Kadesh shakes.

9 The Lord's voice makes the pregnant deer go into labor; it strips bare the forests. In his Temple all the worshipers shout, "Glory!"

10 The Lord sits on his throne above the floodwaters; the Lord is the eternal King.

11 The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses them with peace.
