2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the | beauty of | holiness.

3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is up--on many | waters.

4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of | majesty. 5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the | cedars · of | Lebanon.

6 The voice of the LORD di- | -videth · the | flames of fire.

7 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the | wilderness of Kadesh. T

8 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the | LORD sitteth | King for | ever.

9 The LORD will give strength un- | -to · his |

peace.

PSALM XXXIII.

1 REJOICE in the LORD, O ye righteous; for praise is comely for the upright.

2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an | instru- · -ment of ten strings.

3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are | done in | truth.

5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the

LORD.

9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood | fast.

10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of | none ef- |-fect.

11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all gene-rations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his | own in- | -her- -i- |

13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the in- | -habi- · -tants | of the |

earth.

15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not de- |-liver'd by much strength.

17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great | strength. 18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in | his mercy. |

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
