1 G ive to the Lord, O sons of the powerful. Give to the Lord shining-greatness and strength.

A Psalm of David. Ascribe to Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

2 G ive to the Lord the honor that belongs to Him. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holy living.

Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.

3 T he voice of the Lord is upon the waters. The God of shining-greatness thunders. The Lord is over many waters.

The voice of Jehovah on the waters, The God of glory hath thundered, Jehovah on many waters.

4 T he voice of the Lord is powerful. The voice of the Lord is great.

The voice of Jehovah with power, The voice of Jehovah with majesty,

5 T he voice of the Lord breaks the cedars. Yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the tall cedars of Lebanon.

The voice of Jehovah shivering cedars, Yea, Jehovah shivers the cedars of Lebanon.

6 H e makes Lebanon jump like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild bull.

And He causeth them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,

7 T he voice of the Lord sends out lightning.

The voice of Jehovah is hewing fiery flames,

8 T he voice of the Lord shakes the desert. The Lord shakes the desert of Kadesh.

The voice of Jehovah paineth a wilderness, Jehovah paineth the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 T he voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth, and tears away the leaves of the trees. And in His holy house everything says, “Honor to God!”

The voice of Jehovah paineth the oaks, And maketh bare the forests, And in His temple every one saith, `Glory.'

10 T he Lord sat as King over the flood. The Lord sits as King forever.

Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king -- to the age,

11 T he Lord will give strength to His people. The Lord will give His people peace.

Jehovah strength to his people giveth, Jehovah blesseth His people with peace!
