Tap a verse to highlight it

1 A Psalm of David. Ascribe to Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

2 Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.

3 The voice of Jehovah `is' on the waters, The God of glory hath thundered, Jehovah `is' on many waters.

4 The voice of Jehovah `is' with power, The voice of Jehovah `is' with majesty,

5 The voice of Jehovah `is' shivering cedars, Yea, Jehovah shivers the cedars of Lebanon.

6 And He causeth them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,

7 The voice of Jehovah is hewing fiery flames,

8 The voice of Jehovah paineth a wilderness, Jehovah paineth the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of Jehovah paineth the oaks, And maketh bare the forests, And in His temple every one saith, `Glory.'

10 Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king -- to the age,

11 Jehovah strength to his people giveth, Jehovah blesseth His people with peace!
