Giue glory to the Lord ye sons of might
Giue to his name the due deserued prayse
That is in holyness wth beauty dight
Whos voyce is hard on the impetious seas
His glory furder yitt to vs apeares
When as his thunders reacheth to our eares
Thy voyce ô Lord is full of might & powre
Wth Maiestick state it terrors brings
It breakes the Cedars topps that lofty towre
Wth itt Lebanon that thick forest rings
And makes it the sineuey roots like calues to skip
Like young vnicornes Lebanon & Sirion le'pe
Thy voyce ô Lord sends flames out of the skys
It shaketh Kedish wth the thickest woods
Hinds calue wth feare Forests discouerd lies
Thy throne is in sett vpon the sweling floods
In thy Temple sitts ther as King for euer
Thy people bless & prayse thee they will euer they'le endeuor
Modernized Text
Give glory to the Lord, ye sons of might;
Give to his name the due deservéd praise
That is in holiness with beauty dight,
Whose voice is heard on the impetuous seas.
His glory further yet to us appears
When as his thunders reacheth to our ears.
Thy voice, oh Lord, is full of might and power;
With majestic state it terrors brings;
It breakes the cedars' tops that lofty tower;
With it Lebanon, that thick forest, rings
And makes the sinewy roots like calves to skip;
Like unicorns Lebanon and Sirion leap.
Thy voice, oh Lord, sends flames out of the skies;
It shaketh Kadesh with the thickest woods;
Hinds calve with fear; forests discovered lies.
Thy throne is set upon the swelling floods.
In thy temple sits there as king forever:
Thy people bless, and praise thee they'll endeavour.
