The psalm calls heavenly beings to ascribe glory to the LORD. His voice is heard over the waters in a mighty storm, breaking cedars and shaking the wilderness. The LORD sits as king, and blesses his people with peace.
1 A Psalm of David . Give unto the LORD , O ye mighty , give unto the LORD glory and strength .
2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name ; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness .
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters : the God of glory thundereth : the LORD is upon many waters .
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful ; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty .
5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars ; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon .
6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf ; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn .
7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire .
8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness ; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh .
9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve , and discovereth the forests : and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory .
10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood ; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever .
11 The LORD will give strength unto his people ; the LORD will bless his people with peace .
