Ascribe to the Lord Glory

A Psalm of David.

29 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,[a]
    (A)ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    worship the Lord in (B)the splendor of holiness.[b]

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

The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
    the Lord breaks (F)the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon to (G)skip like a calf,
    and (H)Sirion like a young (I)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 (J)Kadesh.

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

10 The Lord sits enthroned over (L)the flood;
    the Lord sits enthroned (M)as king forever.
11 May the Lord give (N)strength to his people!
    May the Lord bless[d] his people with (O)peace!

26 “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars
    and spreads his wings toward the south?
27 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up
    and makes his (A)nest on high?
28 On the rock he dwells and makes his home,
    on (B)the rocky crag and stronghold.
29 From there he spies out the prey;
    his eyes behold it from far away.
30 His young ones suck up blood,
    and (C)where the slain are, there is he.”

40 And the Lord (D)said to Job:

“Shall a faultfinder (E)contend with the Almighty?
    He who argues with God, let him answer it.”

Job Promises Silence

Then Job answered the Lord and said:

“Behold, I am (F)of small account; what shall I answer you?
    (G)I lay my hand on my mouth.
I have spoken (H)once, and I will not answer;
    (I)twice, but I will proceed no further.”

26 “Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom
    and spread its wings toward the south?(A)
27 Does the eagle soar at your command
    and build its nest on high?(B)
28 It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night;
    a rocky crag(C) is its stronghold.
29 From there it looks for food;(D)
    its eyes detect it from afar.
30 Its young ones feast on blood,
    and where the slain are, there it is.”(E)

40 The Lord said to Job:(F)

“Will the one who contends with the Almighty(G) correct him?(H)
    Let him who accuses God answer him!”(I)

Then Job answered the Lord:

“I am unworthy(J)—how can I reply to you?
    I put my hand over my mouth.(K)
I spoke once, but I have no answer(L)
    twice, but I will say no more.”(M)

25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the (A)Helper, the Holy Spirit, (B)whom the Father will send in my name, (C)he will teach you all things and (D)bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
