 Of David.

 1-2      

Bring to Adonai, O heavenly beings,

Bring to Adonai glory and strength.

Bring to Adonai the glory due His name;

Worship Adonai in the majesty of holiness.

 

3-9

The voice of Adonai is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, Adonai, over many waters.

The voice of Adonai is powerful;

The voice of Adonai is full of majesty.

The voice of Adonai breaks the cedars; Adonai breaks the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox.

The voice of Adonai flashes forth flames of fire.

The voice of Adonai shakes the wilderness; Adonai shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of Adonai makes the deer give birth and strips the forests bare, and in His temple all cry, “Glory!”

 

10-11

Adonai sits enthroned over the flood;

Adonai sits enthroned as king forever.

May Adonai give strength to His people!

May Adonai bless His people with peace!
