A song of David.[152]
<1> Praise the Lord, you heavenly angels[153]!
Praise the Lord's glory[154] and power.
<2> Praise the Lord and honor his name!
Worship the Lord in your special clothes.[155]
<3> The Lord raises his voice at the sea.
The voice of our glorious God
is like thunder over the great ocean.
<4> The Lord's voice is powerful.
It shows the Lord's glory.
<5> The Lord's voice shatters great cedar trees.
He breaks the great cedars of Lebanon.
<6> He makes Lebanon shake like a young calf dancing.
Sirion[156] trembles like a young bull jumping up and down.
<7> The Lord's voice cuts the air
with flashes of lightning.
<8> The Lord's voice shakes the desert.
Kadesh Desert[157] trembles at the Lord's voice.
<9> The Lord's voice frightens the deer.[158]
He destroys the forests.
In his temple everyone shouts,
"Glory to God!"
<10> The Lord ruled as king at the time of the flood,
and he will rule as king forever.
<11> May the Lord make his people strong.
May the Lord bless his people with peace.
