Psalm 28
The voice of the lord in power

BRING TO THE LORD/ children of the lord: bring to the lord/ the offspring of rams./ Bring to the lord glory/ and honour: bring / to the lord glory to his/ name: adore the lord/ in his holy hall./ The voice of the lord upon the waters: the god/ of majesty has thundered: the lord upon many waters./ The voice of the lord in power: the voice of the lord in greatness./ The voice of the lord breaks cedars in pieces:/ and the lord shall break in pieces the cedars of libanus./ And shall reduce them as a calf/ of libanus: and just as the beloved son of unicorns./ The voice of the lord severs the flame of fire:/ the voice of the lord shakes the desert:/ and the lord shall dislodge the desert of cades./ The voice of the lord prepares stags and he will uncover
