Afferte Domino

  1. 1

    Ascribe to the LORD, you gods, *
    ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

    Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his Name; *
    worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

    The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders; *
    the LORD is upon the mighty waters.

  4. 4

    The voice of the LORD is a powerful voice; *
    the voice of the LORD is a voice of splendor.

  5. 5

    The voice of the LORD breaks the cedar trees; *
    the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon;

  6. 6

    He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, *
    and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.

  7. 7

    The voice of the LORD splits the flames of fire; the voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; *
    the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

    The voice of the LORD makes the oak trees writhe *
    and strips the forests bare.

  9. 9

    And in the temple of the LORD *
    all are crying, "Glory!"

    The LORD sits enthroned above the flood; *
    the LORD sits enthroned as King for evermore.

  11. 11

    The LORD shall give strength to his people; *
    the LORD shall give his people the blessing of peace.
