3 The voice of YHWH [is] on the waters, The God of glory has thundered, YHWH [is] on many waters.

6 And He causes them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.

7 The voice of YHWH is hewing fiery flames,

The LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

8 The voice of YHWH pains a wilderness, YHWH pains the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of YHWH pains the oaks, And makes bare the forests, And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”

10 YHWH has sat on the flood, And YHWH sits [as] king for all time,

11 YHWH gives strength to His people, YHWH blesses His people with peace!

The LORD will give strength to his people. The LORD will bless his people with peace.
