A Psalm of David.
Ascribe unto Jehovah, O ye {Or, sons of God}sons of the {Or, gods See Exodus 15:11.}mighty,
Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.
Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name;
Worship Jehovah {Or, in the beauty of holiness}in holy array.
The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters:
The God of glory thundereth,
Even Jehovah upon {Or, great}many waters.
The voice of Jehovah is powerful;
The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.
The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars;
Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
He maketh them also to skip like a calf;
Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.
The voice of Jehovah {Or, heweth out flames of fire}cleaveth the flames of fire.
The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness;
Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve,
And strippeth the forests bare:
And in his temple everything saith, Glory.
Jehovah sat as King at the Flood;
Yea, Jehovah sitteth as King for ever.
Jehovah will give strength unto his people;
Jehovah will bless his people with peace.

Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth?Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
Canst thou number the months that they fulfil?Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
They bow themselves, they bring forth their young,They cast out their pains.
So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary,To see thy power and thy glory.
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change,And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,Though the mountains tremble with the {Or, pride}swelling thereof. [Selah

For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God,In the midst of thy temple.
And he will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and it shall be {Or, as when a sick man pineth away}as when a standard-bearer fainteth.
A Song of Ascents.Behold, bless ye Jehovah, all ye servants of Jehovah,That by night stand in the house of Jehovah.
And the remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child may write them.
Lift up your hands {Or, in holiness}to the sanctuary,And bless ye Jehovah.
Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;
and say to the forest of the South, Hear the word of Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby.
And all flesh shall see that I, Jehovah, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.
Vanity of Idols. {Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.Praise ye the name of Jehovah;Praise him, O ye servants of Jehovah,
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah,In the courts of the house of our God.
