Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
Psalm 29:1–2

Ye hosts of Heaven, ye mighty ones,
Ascribe, with one accord,
The strength, the power, the majesty,
To your almighty Lord.
Give glory to His holy name,
And honor Him alone;
In beauty meet of holiness
Approach His lofty throne.
Jehovah’s voice of majesty
Is on the waters wide;
The God of glory thundereth,
And on the seas doth ride.
Jehovah sits upon the floods,
And tempests rage in vain;
Jehovah sits as sovereign king
And evermore shall reign.
