(א) מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד הָבוּ לַיהוה בְּנֵי אֵלִים הָבוּ לַיהוה כָּבוֹד וָעֹז: הָבוּ לַיהוה כְּבוֹד שְׁמוֹ הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַיהוה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹֽדֶשׁ: קוֹל יהוה עַל־הַמָּֽיִם אֵל־הַכָּבוֹד הִרְעִים יהוה עַל־מַֽיִם רַבִּים: קוֹל־יהוה בַּכֹּֽחַ קוֹל יהוה בֶּהָדָר: קוֹל יהוה שֹׁבֵר אֲרָזִים וַיְשַׁבֵּר יהוה אֶת־אַרְזֵי הַלְּבָנוֹן: וַיַּרְקִידֵם כְּמוֹ־עֵֽגֶל לְבָנוֹן וְשִׂרְיוֹן כְּמוֹ בֶן־רְאֵמִים: קוֹל־יהוה חֹצֵב לַהֲבוֹת אֵשׁ: קוֹל יהוה יָחִיל מִדְבָּר יָחִיל יהוה מִדְבַּר קָדֵשׁ: קוֹל יהוה יְחוֹלֵל אַיָּלוֹת וַיֶּחֱשׂף יְעָרוֹת וּבְהֵיכָלוֹ כֻּלּוֹ אֹמֵר כָּבוֹד: יהוה לַמַּבּוּל יָשָׁב וַיֵּֽשֶׁב יהוה מֶֽלֶךְ לְעוֹלָם: יהוה עֹז לְעַמּוֹ יִתֵּן יהוה יְבָרֵךְ אֶת־עַמּוֹ בַשָּׁלוֹם:
A Psalm of David:
Ascribe to God, O divine beings, ascribe to God glory and strength. Ascribe to God the glory of the holy name; bow down to God, majestic in holiness. God's voice is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, God, over the mighty waters. The voice of God is power; God's voice is majesty; God's voice breaks cedars; God shatters the cedars of Lebanon—making Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion, like a young wild ox. God's voice kindles flames of fire; God's voice convulses the wilderness; God convulses the wilderness of Kadesh; God's voice causes hinds to calve, and strips forests bare; while in the divine temple all say "Glory!" God sat enthroned at the Flood; God sits enthroned, ruler forever. May strength be granted to God's people; may God bless this people with peace.

It is customary to stand during the recitation of the following psalm.
A Psalm of David. Ascribe to Adonoy— you sons of the mighty — ascribe to Adonoy glory and might. Ascribe to Adonoy the glory due His Name, prostrate yourselves before Adonoy in the splendor of holiness. Adonoy's voice is upon the waters. Almighty of glory thunders, Adonoy is upon [the] many waters. The voice of Adonoy is in power, the voice of Adonoy is in beauty. The voice of Adonoy breaks cedars, Adonoy shatters the cedars of Lebanon. He makes them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like unicorns. The voice of Adonoy hews out flames of fire. The voice of Adonoy makes the desert tremble, Adonoy makes tremble the desert of Kadesh. The voice of Adonoy causes hinds to calve, and strips the forests bare; and in His Sanctuary all proclaim [His] glory. Adonoy sat enthroned (even) at the flood Adonoy is enthroned as King forever. Adonoy will give strength to His people; Adonoy will bless His people with peace.
