Psalm 29:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 The voice of the Lord[a] echoes over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord thunders over mighty waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is filled with majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord shatters the cedars;
the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.[b]
Footnotes
- Psalm 29:3 The voice of the Lord: this phrase appears seven times in imitation of the sound of thunder and symbolizes the power of God, the Lord of history as well as the Master of the elements, whose voice no one can resist (see Job 37:4f; Ezek 10:5).
- Psalm 29:5 The cedars of Lebanon: i.e., the strongest of all trees (see Isa 2:13).
