Ascribe to the Lord Glory

A Psalm of David.

29 
Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,[a]
(A)ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in (B)the splendor of holiness.[b]

The voice of the Lord is over ©the waters;
the God of glory (D)thunders,
the Lord, over many waters.
The voice of the Lord is (E)powerful;
the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks (F)the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon to (G)skip like a calf,
and (H)Sirion like a young (I)wild ox.

The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of (J)Kadesh.

The voice of the Lord makes (K)the deer give birth[c]
and strips the forests bare,
and in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

10 The Lord sits enthroned over (L)the flood;
the Lord sits enthroned (M)as king forever.
11 May the Lord give (N)strength to his people!
May the Lord bless[d] his people with (O)peace!
