The Voice of the Lord

A psalm of David.

29 Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,[a]
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord
in the splendour of his holiness.[b](A)

The voice of the Lord is above the waters.
The God of glory thunders –
the Lord, above the vast water,(B)
the voice of the Lord in power,
the voice of the Lord in splendour.(C)
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.(D)
He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,(E)
and Sirion, like a young wild ox.(F)
The voice of the Lord flashes flames of fire.(G)
The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.(H)
The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth[c](I)
and strips the woodlands bare.(J)

In his temple all cry, ‘Glory! ’

10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
the Lord sits enthroned, King for ever.(K)
11 The Lord gives his people strength;(L)
the Lord blesses his people with peace.(M)
