上帝威严的声音

大卫的诗。

29 上帝的众子啊,
要赞美耶和华,
赞美祂的荣耀和能力,
要赞美祂荣耀的名,
穿上圣洁的衣服敬拜祂。
耶和华的声音回荡在海上,
荣耀的上帝打雷,
在洪涛之上打雷。
耶和华的声音充满能力;
耶和华的声音充满威严。
耶和华的声音震断香柏树,
耶和华劈碎黎巴嫩的香柏树,
使黎巴嫩山跳跃如小牛,
西连山跳跃如野牛。
耶和华的声音携闪电而来,
震动旷野,
震动加低斯的旷野。
耶和华的声音击倒橡树[a]
使树木凋零。
众人在祂殿中高呼:
“荣耀归于耶和华!”
10 耶和华坐在洪涛之上,
耶和华永远坐着为王。
11 耶和华赐力量给自己的子民,
赐给他们平安的福乐。

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.

A Psalm of David.

¶ 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.

The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD is upon many waters.

The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yea, the LORD broke the cedars of Lebanon.

And He made them skip like calves; Lebanon and Sirion like the sons of the unicorns.

The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.

The voice of the LORD that shall shake the wilderness; the LORD shall shake the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the LORD shall make the hinds to calve and shall uncover the forests: and in his temple every one speaks to his glory.

10 The LORD sits upon the flood; yea, the LORD sat down as King for ever.

11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people in peace.
