God in the Thunderstorm

A psalm of David.

29 ·Praise [T Ascribe to] the Lord, you ·angels [L sons of God; C God’s council];
    ·Praise the Lord’s [T Ascribe to the Lord] glory and power.
·Praise the Lord for [T Ascribe to the Lord] the glory of his name;
    worship the Lord ·because he is holy [L in the splendor of his holiness].

The Lord’s voice [C thunder] is heard over the ·sea [L waters; C a symbol of chaos].
    The glorious God thunders;
    the Lord thunders over the ·ocean [L many/mighty waters].
The Lord’s voice is powerful;
    the Lord’s voice is ·majestic [splendid; awesome].
The Lord’s voice breaks the ·trees [L cedars];
    the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon [C the most famous cedar forests].
He makes the land of Lebanon dance like a calf
    and ·Mount Hermon [L Sirion] jump like a baby bull.
The Lord’s voice ·makes the lightning flash [strikes with flashes of lightning].
The Lord’s voice shakes the ·desert [wilderness];
    the Lord shakes the ·Desert [Wilderness] of Kadesh.
The Lord’s voice ·shakes the oaks [or makes the deer give birth]
    and strips the ·leaves off the trees [L forests bare].
In his Temple everyone says, “Glory!”

10 The Lord ·controls [L is enthroned over] the flood [C controls chaos].
    The Lord ·will be [L is enthroned as] King forever.
11 The Lord gives strength to his people;
    the Lord blesses his people with peace.
