1Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of God,
ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!

2Ascribe to Yahweh the glory his name deserves.
Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness!

3The voice of Yahweh is heard over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
Yahweh thunders over many waters.

4The voice of Yahweh is powerful;
the voice of Yahweh is majestic.

5The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars;
Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6He makes Lebanon skip like a calf
and Sirion like a young ox.

7The voice of Yahweh sends out flames of fire.

8The voice of Yahweh shakes the wilderness;
Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9The voice of Yahweh causes the oaks to twist
and strips the forests bare.
Everyone in his temple says, “Glory!”

10Yahweh sits as king over the flood;
Yahweh sits as king forever.

11Yahweh gives strength to his people;
Yahweh blesses his people with peace.
