1A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty , give unto the LORD glory and strength. <sup>ye mighty: Heb. ye sons of the mighty</sup>

2Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. <sup>the glory: Heb. the honour of his name</sup> <sup>in: or, in his glorious sanctuary</sup>

3The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters. <sup>many: or, great</sup>

4The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. <sup>powerful: Heb. in power</sup> <sup>full: Heb. in majesty</sup>

5The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

6He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

7The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. <sup>divideth: Heb. cutteth out</sup>

8The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

9The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory. <sup>to calve: or, to be in pain</sup> <sup>doth: or, every whit of it uttereth, etc</sup>

10The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.

11The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
