- Give to the Lord ye Potentates,
- ye rulers of the world,
- Give ye all praise honor and strength,
- unto the living Lord.
-
- 2 Give honor to his holy name,
- and honor him alone:
- Worship him in his majesty,
- within his holy throne.
-
- 3 His voice doth rule the waters all,
- even as himself doth please,
- He doth prepare the thunder-claps,
- and governs all the seas.
-
- 4 The voice of God is of great force,
- And wondrous excellent:
- It is most mighty in effect,
- and most magnificent.
-
- 5 The voice of God doth rend and break,
- the Cedar trees so long:
- The Cedar trees of Lebanon,
- which are most high and strong.
-
- 6 And make them leap like as a calf,
- or else the Unicorn:
-
- 7 Not only trees but mountains great,
- whereon the trees are born.
-
- 8 His voice divides the flames of fire,
- and shakes the wilderness:
- It makes the desert quake for fear,
- that called is Cadesh.
-
- 9 It makes the hinds for fear to calve,
- and makes the covert plain:
- Then is his temple every man,
- his glory doth proclaim.
-
- 10 The Lord was set above the floods
- ruling the raging sea:
- So shall he reign as Lord and King,
- for ever and for aye.
-
- 11 The Lord will give his people power,
- in virtue to increase:
- The Lord will bless his chosen folk,
- with everlasting peace.
