[1] Give all credit to the Eternal, O heavenly creatures; give praise to Him for His glory and power. [2] Give to the Eternal the glory due His name; worship Him with lavish displays of sacred splendor. [3] The voice of the Eternal echoes over the great waters; God's magnificence roars like thunder. The Eternal's presence hovers over all the waters. [4] His voice explodes in great power over the earth. His voice is both regal and grand. [5] The Eternal's voice shatters the cedars; His power splinters the great cedars of Lebanon. [6] He speaks, and Lebanon leaps like a young calf; Sirion jumps like a wild, youthful ox. [7] The voice of the Eternal cuts through with flames of fire. [8] The voice of the Eternal rumbles through the wilderness with great quakes; He causes Kadesh to tremble. [9] The Eternal's voice brings life from the doe's womb; His voice strips the forest bare, and all the people in the temple declare, "Glory!" [10] The Eternal is enthroned over the great flood; His reign is unending. [11] We ask You, Eternal One, to give strength to Your people; Eternal One, bless them with the gift of peace.
