The Voice of Yahweh

A Psalm of David.

1Ascribe to Yahweh, O [†]sons of the mighty,

Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

2Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;

Worship Yahweh in the splendor of holiness.

3The voice of Yahweh is upon the waters;

The God of glory thunders,

Yahweh is over [†]many waters.

4The voice of Yahweh is powerful,

The voice of Yahweh is full of splendor.

5The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars;

Indeed, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,

And Sirion like a young wild ox.

7The voice of Yahweh hews out [†]flames of fire.

8The voice of Yahweh causes the wilderness to tremble;

Yahweh causes the wilderness of Kadesh to tremble.

9The voice of Yahweh makes the deer to calve

And strips the forests bare;

And in His temple everything says, “Glory!”

10Yahweh sat enthroned over the flood;

Indeed, Yahweh sits as King forever.

11[†]Yahweh will give strength to His people;

[†]Yahweh will bless His people with peace.
