The voice of the Lord is over (A)the waters;
    the God of glory (B)thunders,
    the Lord, over many waters.
The voice of the Lord is (C)powerful;
    the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
    the Lord breaks (D)the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon to (E)skip like a calf,
    and (F)Sirion like a young (G)wild ox.

The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
    the Lord shakes the wilderness of (H)Kadesh.

The voice of the Lord makes (I)the deer give birth[a]
    and strips the forests bare,
    and in his temple all cry, “Glory!”
