A Psalm of David.

8,6,8,6

^1Give ye unto the Lord, ye sons

that of the mighty be,

All strength and glory to the Lord

with cheerfulness give ye.

^2Unto the Lord the glory give

that to his name is due;

And in the beauty of holiness

unto Jehovah bow.

^3The Lord's voice on the waters is;

the God of majesty

Doth thunder, and on multitudes

of waters sitteth he.

^4A pow'rful voice it is that comes

out from the Lord most high;

The voice of that great Lord is full

of glorious majesty.

^5The voice of the Eternal doth

asunder cedars tear;

Yea, God the Lord doth cedars break

that Lebanon doth bear.

^6He makes them like a calf to skip,

ev'n that great Lebanon,

And, like to a young unicorn,

the mountain Sirion.

^7God's voice divides the flames of fire;

^8The desert it doth shake:

The Lord doth make the wilderness

of Kadesh all to quake.

^9God's voice doth make the hinds to calve,

it makes the forest bare:

And in his temple ev'ry one

his glory doth declare.

^10The Lord sits on the floods; the Lord

sits King, and ever shall.

^11The Lord will give his people strength,

and with peace bless them all.
