1 Give glory to God, all you heavenly creatures;
all glory and power belong to the LORD!
2 So drop to your knees and respect what is holy,
be quiet and listen: the voice of the LORD!
3 The voice of the LORD rolls out over the waters;
it thunders and echoes his glory abroad.
4 The voice of the LORD is majestic and mighty;
its power resounds, and his creatures are awed.
5 The voice of the LORD now is breaking the cedars;
he shatters the trees while Mount Lebanon quakes.
6 God speaks: all the hills jump like antelopes startled
the voice of the LORD makes us creatures to shake.
7 The voice of the LORD whips out lightning-like flashes.
8 The voice of the LORD makes the desert to reel.
9 The voice of the LORD sets the oak tree awhirling.
God strips forests bare by the force of his gale.
And all in his temple, in worship, cry “Glory!”
10 The LORD rules the flood and his reign shall ne’er cease.
11 The LORD gives his people their strength and all blessing;
the LORD shall encircle his people with peace.
