PSALM 29. AFFERTE DOMINO by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE

Ascribe unto the Lord of light
Ye men of power, even by birthright,
Ascribe all glory and all might.
Ascribe due glory to his name,
And in his ever glorious frame
Of sanctuary do the same.
His voice is on the waters found;
His voice doth threatening thunders sound,
Yea, through the waters doth resound.
The voice of that Lord ruling us
Is strong, though he be gracious,
And ever, ever, glorious.
By voice of high Jehovah we
The highest cedars broken see,
Even cedars which on Leban be;
Nay, like young calves in leaps are born,
And Leban' self with nature's scorn,
And Shirion like young unicorn.
His voice doth flashing flames divide;
His voice have trembling deserts tried,
Even deserts where the Arabs bide.
His voice makes hinds their calves to cast;
His voice makes bald the forest waste;
But in his church his fame is placed.
His justice seat the world sustains;
Of furious floods he holds the reins;
And this his rule for aye remains.
God to his people strength shall give,
That they in peace shall blessed live.
