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.
