Psalm 28
|
1
(A psalm. Of David.)
Sons of God, make your offering to the Lord;
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
The voice of the Lord is heard over the waters, when the glorious God thunders, the Lord, thundering over swollen waters;
4
the Lord’s voice in its power, the Lord’s voice in its majesty.
5
The Lord’s voice, that breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon;
6
bids Lebanon and Sarion leap high as a bullock leaps, breed of the wild ox.
7
The Lord’s voice kindles flashing fire;
8
the Lord’s voice makes the wilderness rock; the Lord, rocking the wilderness of Cades.
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
Out of a raging flood, the Lord makes a dwelling-place; the Lord sits enthroned as a king for ever.
11
And this Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will give his people his own blessing of peace.
