| 1 A psalm for David, at the finishing of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams. | 1 [Psalm Of David] Give Yahweh his due, sons of God, give Yahweh his due of glory and strength, |
| 2 Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court. | 2 give Yahweh the glory due to his name, adore Yahweh in the splendour of holiness. |
| 3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters. | 3 Yahweh's voice over the waters, the God of glory thunders; Yahweh over countless waters, |
| 4 The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence. | 4 Yahweh's voice in power, Yahweh's voice in splendour; |
| 5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus. | 5 Yahweh's voice shatters cedars, Yahweh shatters cedars of Lebanon, |
| 6 And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns. | 6 he makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox. |
| 7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire: | 7 Yahweh's voice carves out lightning-shafts, |
| 8 The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades. | 8 Yahweh's voice convulses the desert, Yahweh convulses the desert of Kadesh, |
| 9 The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory. | 9 Yahweh's voice convulses terebinths, strips forests bare. In his palace al cry, 'Glory!' |
| 10 The Lord maketh the hood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king for ever. The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace. | 10 Yahweh was enthroned for the flood, Yahweh is enthroned as king for ever. |
| 11 Yahweh will give strength to his people, Yahweh blesses his people with peace. |
