The God of glory (B)thunders,
The Lord is over [a](C)many waters.
The voice of the Lord is (D)powerful,
The voice of the Lord is majestic.
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
Yes, the Lord breaks (E)the cedars of Lebanon in pieces.
He makes Lebanon (F)skip like a calf,
And (G)Sirion like a young wild ox.
The voice of the Lord divides [b]flames of fire.
The voice of the Lord [c]shakes the wilderness;
The Lord shakes the wilderness of (H)Kadesh.
The voice of the Lord makes (I)the deer give birth
And strips the forests bare;
And (J)in His temple everything says, “Glory!”
