| 1 (28-1) <A psalm for David, at the finishing of the tabernacle.> Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams. | 1 Ascribe to the LORD, O mighty ones, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. |
| 2 (28-2) Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court. | 2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. |
| 3 (28-3) The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters. | 3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters. |
| 4 (28-4) The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence. | 4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic. |
| 5 (28-5) The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus. | 5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. |
| 6 (28-6) And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns. | 6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox. |
| 7 (28-7) The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire: | 7 The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning. |
| 8 (28-8) The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades. | 8 The voice of the LORD shakes the desert; the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh. |
| 9 (28-9) The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory. | 9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, "Glory!" |
| 10 (28-10) The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king for ever. | 10 The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever. |
| 11 (28-10) The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace. | 11 The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. |
