The Voice of Yahweh

A Psalm of David.

^1aAscribe to Yahweh, O ¹sons of the mighty,

Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

²Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;

Worship Yahweh ^ain the splendor of holiness.

³The ^avoice of Yahweh is upon the waters;

The God of glory ^bthunders,

Yahweh is over ^1cmany waters.

⁴The voice of Yahweh is ^apowerful,

The voice of Yahweh is full of splendor.

⁵The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars;

Indeed, Yahweh breaks in pieces ^athe cedars of Lebanon.

⁶He makes Lebanon ^askip like a calf,

And ^bSirion like a young wild ox.

⁷The voice of Yahweh hews out ¹flames of fire.

⁸The voice of Yahweh causes the wilderness to tremble;

Yahweh causes the wilderness of ^aKadesh to tremble.

⁹The voice of Yahweh makes ^athe deer to calve

And strips the forests bare;

And ^bin His temple everything says, “Glory!”

¹⁰Yahweh sat enthroned over the ^aflood;

Indeed, Yahweh sits as ^bKing forever.

¹¹¹Yahweh will give ^astrength to His people;

²Yahweh will bless His people with ^bpeace.

PSALM 30

You Have Turned My Mourning into Dancing

A Psalm. A Song at the Dedication of the House. Of David.

¹I will ^aexalt You, O Yahweh, for You have ^blifted me up,

And have not let my ^cenemies be glad over me.

²O Yahweh my God,

I ^acried to You for help, and You ^bhealed me.

³O Yahweh, You have ^abrought up my soul from Sheol;

You have kept me alive, ¹that I would not ^bgo down to the pit.

^4aSing praise to Yahweh, you ^bHis holy ones,

And ^cgive thanks for the ^dremembrance of His holy name.

⁵For ^aHis anger is but for a moment,

His ^bfavor is for a lifetime;

Weeping may ^clast for the night,

But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

⁶Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,

“I will ^anever be shaken.”

⁷O Yahweh, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;

You ^ahid Your face, I was dismayed.

⁸To You, O Yahweh, I called,

And to the Lord I made supplication:

⁹“What profit is there in my blood, if I ^ago down to the pit?

Will the ^bdust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?

¹⁰“^aHear, O Yahweh, and be gracious to me;

O Yahweh, be my ^bhelper.”

¹¹You have turned for me ^amy mourning into dancing;

You have ^bloosed my sackcloth and girded me with ^cgladness,

¹²That my ^1aglory may sing praise to You and not be silent.

O Yahweh my God, I will ^bgive thanks to You forever.
