1A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David's house.

1Ascribe unto Jehovah, O ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.

1 Give to the Lord, you sons of the gods, give to the Lord glory and strength.

2I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.

2Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name; Worship Jehovah in holy array.

2Give to the Lord the full glory of his name; give him worship in holy robes.

3O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and thou hast healed me.

3The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: The God of glory thundereth, Even Jehovah upon many waters.

3The voice of the Lord is on the waters: the God of glory is thundering, the Lord is on the great waters.

4Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit.

4The voice of Jehovah is powerful; The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.

4The voice of the Lord is full of power; the voice of the Lord has a noble sound.

5Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.

5The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

5By the voice of the Lord are the cedar-trees broken, even the cedars of Lebanon are broken by the Lord.

6For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.

6He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.

6He makes them go jumping about like a young ox; Lebanon and Sirion like a young mountain ox.

7And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.

7The voice of Jehovah cleaveth the flames of fire.

7At the voice of the Lord flames of fire are seen.

8O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.

8The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

8At the voice of the Lord there is a shaking in the waste land, even a shaking in the waste land of Kadesh.

9To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.

9The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, And strippeth the forests bare: And in his temple everything saith, Glory.

9At the voice of the Lord the roes give birth, the leaves are taken from the trees: in his Temple everything says, Glory.

10What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?

10Jehovah satas Kingat the Flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth as King for ever.

10The Lord had his seat as king when the waters came on the earth; the Lord is seated as king for ever.

11The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.

11Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.

11The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will give his people the blessing of peace.

12Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:

13To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.
