Psalms

Chapter 28

  1. 1

    Sons of God, make your offering to the Lord;

  2. 2

    an offering to the Lord of honour and glory, an offering to the Lord of the glory that befits his name; worship the Lord, in holy vesture habited.

  3. 3

    The voice of the Lord is heard over the waters, when the glorious God thunders, the Lord, thundering over swollen waters;

  4. 4

    the Lord’s voice in its power, the Lord’s voice in its majesty.

  5. 5

    The Lord’s voice, that breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon;

  6. 6

    bids Lebanon and Sarion leap high as a bullock leaps, breed of the wild ox.

  7. 7

    The Lord’s voice kindles flashing fire;

  8. 8

    the Lord’s voice makes the wilderness rock; the Lord, rocking the wilderness of Cades.

  9. 9

    The Lord’s voice sets the oak-trees a-swaying, strips the deep forest bare. Meanwhile, in his sanctuary, there is no sound but tells of his glory.

  10. 10

    Out of a raging flood, the Lord makes a dwelling-place; the Lord sits enthroned as a king for ever.

  11. 11

    And this Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will give his people his own blessing of peace.
