1 Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of God,

ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!

2 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory his name deserves.

Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness!

3 The voice of Yahweh is heard over the waters;

the God of glory thunders,

Yahweh thunders over many waters.

4 The voice of Yahweh is powerful;

the voice of Yahweh is majestic.

5 The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars;

Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf

and Sirion like a young ox.

7 The voice of Yahweh sends out flames of fire.

8 The voice of Yahweh shakes the wilderness;

Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of Yahweh causes the oaks to twist

and strips the forests bare.

Everyone in his temple says, “Glory!”

10 Yahweh sits as king over the flood;

Yahweh sits as king forever.

11 Yahweh gives strength to his people;

Yahweh blesses his people with peace.
