³ The voice of the Lord is over ^(C)the waters;
    the God of glory ^(D)thunders,
    the Lord, over many waters.
⁴ The voice of the Lord is ^(E)powerful;
    the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

⁵ The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
    the Lord breaks ^(F)the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶ He makes Lebanon to ^(G)skip like a calf,
    and ^(H)Sirion like a young ^(I)wild ox.

⁷ The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
⁸ The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
    the Lord shakes the wilderness of ^(J)Kadesh.

⁹ The voice of the Lord makes ^(K)the deer give birth^[c]
    and strips the forests bare,
    and in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

¹⁰ The Lord sits enthroned over ^(L)the flood;
    the Lord sits enthroned ^(M)as king forever.
¹¹ May the Lord give ^(N)strength to his people!
    May the Lord bless^[d] his people with ^(O)peace!

¹³ “The wings of the ostrich wave proudly,
    but are they the pinions and plumage of love?^[a]
14 For she leaves her eggs to the earth
    and lets them be warmed on the ground,
¹⁵ forgetting that a foot may crush them
    and that the wild beast may trample them.
¹⁶ She ^(A)deals cruelly with her young, as if they were not hers;
    though her ^(B)labor be in vain, yet she has no fear,
¹⁷ because God has made her forget wisdom
    and ^(C)given her no share in understanding.
¹⁸ When she rouses herself to flee,^[b]
    she laughs at the horse and his rider.

¹⁹ “Do you give the horse his might?
    Do you clothe his neck with a mane?
²⁰ Do you make him leap like the locust?
    His majestic ^(D)snorting is terrifying.
²¹ He paws^[c] in the valley and exults in his strength;
    he ^(E)goes out to meet the weapons.
²² He laughs at fear and is not dismayed;
    he does not turn back from the sword.
²³ Upon him rattle the quiver,
    the flashing spear, and the javelin.
²⁴ With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground;
    he cannot stand still at ^(F)the sound of the trumpet.
²⁵ When the trumpet sounds, he says ‘Aha!’
    He smells the battle from afar,
    the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
