1A psalm by David. Render to the Lord, children of the mighty, render to the Lord honor and strength.
2Render to the Lord the honor due to His Name; bow down to the Lord in resplendent holiness.
3The voice of the Lord is over the waters, the God of glory thunders; the Lord is over mighty waters.
4The voice of the Lord resounds with might; the voice of the Lord resounds with majesty.
5The voice of the Lord breaks cedars; the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.
6He makes them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7The voice of the Lord strikes flames of fire.
8The voice of the Lord makes the desert tremble; the Lord causes the desert of Kadesh to tremble.
9The voice of the Lord causes the deer to calve, and strips the forests bare; and in His Sanctuary all proclaim His glory.
10The Lord sat [as King] at the Flood; the Lord will sit as King forever.
11The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.
