1 A psalm of David. Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye sons of the mighty, ascribe unto the Lord glory and strength.

2 Ascribe unto the Lord the glory of his name; bow down to the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thundereth, the Lord––upon mighty waters.

4 The voice of the Lord resoundeth with power; the voice of the Lord resoundeth with majesty.

5 The voice of the Lord breaketh in pieces the cedars; yea, the Lord shivereth the cedars of Lebanon;

6 And he maketh them skip like a calf; Lebanon and Siryon like young reems.

7 The voice of the Lord heweth out flames of fire.

8 The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of the Lord causeth the hinds to start, and maketh bare forests: and in his temple every thing speaketh of his glory.

10 The Lord sat enthroned at the flood: and the Lord will sit as King for ever.

11 The Lord will give strength unto his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.
