1. Ascribe to the Lord, O you sons of great might,
Ascribe to the Lord strength and glorious light.
Give unto the Lord honor due to His name
And worship the Lord in your holy array.

2. The voice of the Lord thunders o’er all the seas
O’er seas is the Lord; God of glory is He.
The voice of the Lord speaks with power and might
The voice of the Lord is majestic and bright.

3. The voice of the Lord causes cedars to break;
And Lebanon, He the Lord causes to shake.
He makes Lebanon all to skip like young deer.
Like young oxen, Mount Hermon jumps back in fear.

4. The voice of the Lord flashes lightning with flame.
The wild of Kadesh the Lord shakes to its frame.
He makes deer to calve; the Lord strips forests bare.
“His glory!” all things in His temple declare.

5. The Lord sat as King at the flood of the world.
Forever He sits as the King, He the Lord!
The Lord to His people gives strength ne’er to cease.
The Lord for His people, will bless them with peace.
