1  Ascribe to the Lord, you powers of heaven, ♦︎
   ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2  Ascribe to the Lord the honour due to his name; ♦︎
   worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
3  The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;
      the God of glory thunders; ♦︎
   the Lord is upon the mighty waters.
4  The voice of the Lord is mighty in operation; ♦︎
   the voice of the Lord is a glorious voice.
5  The voice of the Lord breaks the cedar trees; ♦︎
   the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon;
6  He makes Lebanon skip like a calf ♦︎
   and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7  The voice of the Lord splits the flash of lightning;
      the voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; ♦︎
   the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
8  The voice of the Lord makes the oak trees writhe
      and strips the forests bare; ♦︎
   in his temple all cry, ‘Glory!’
9  The Lord sits enthroned above the water flood; ♦︎
   the Lord sits enthroned as king for evermore.
10  The Lord shall give strength to his people; ♦︎
   the Lord shall give his people the blessing of peace.

1  The Lord said to my lord, ‘Sit at my right hand, ♦︎
   until I make your enemies your footstool.’
2  May the Lord stretch forth the sceptre of your power; ♦︎
   rule from Zion in the midst of your enemies.
3  ‘Noble are you on this day of your birth; ♦︎
   on the holy mountain, from the womb of the dawn
      the dew of your new birth is upon you.’
4  The Lord has sworn and will not retract: ♦︎
   ‘You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.’
5  The king at your right hand, O Lord, ♦︎
   shall smite down kings in the day of his wrath.
6  In all his majesty, he shall judge among the nations, ♦︎
   smiting heads over all the wide earth.
7  He shall drink from the brook beside the way; ♦︎
   therefore shall he lift high his head.
