1 Praise the LORD, you heavenly beings;
praise his glory and power.
2 Praise the LORD's glorious name;
bow down before the Holy One when he appears.
3 The voice of the LORD is heard on the seas;
the glorious God thunders,
and his voice echoes over the ocean.
4 The voice of the LORD is heard
in all its might and majesty.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars,
even the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes the mountains of Lebanon jump like calves
and makes Mount Hermon leap like a young bull.
7 The voice of the LORD makes the lightning flash.
8 His voice makes the desert shake;
he shakes the desert of Kadesh.
9 The LORD's voice shakes the oaks
and strips the leaves from the trees
while everyone in his Temple shouts, “Glory to God!”
10 The LORD rules over the deep waters;
he rules as king forever.
11 The LORD gives strength to his people
and blesses them with peace.
