11 verses · BSBPsalms book hub →

1 Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness.

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

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

5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

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

7 The voice of the LORD strikes with flames of fire.

8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”

10 The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.

11 The LORD gives His people strength; the LORD blesses His people with peace.

Jehovah sat as King at the Flood; Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
