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.

 神在風暴中顯示能力威嚴

大衛的詩。

29  神的眾子啊!要歸給耶和華,

你們要把榮耀和能力歸給耶和華。(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)

要把耶和華的名的榮耀歸給他,

要以聖潔的裝束敬拜耶和華。(“要以聖潔的裝束敬拜耶和華”或譯:“在耶和華顯現的時候,要敬拜他”,或“要在耶和華聖潔的光輝中敬拜他”)

耶和華的聲音在眾水之上,

榮耀的 神打雷,

耶和華打雷在大水之上。

耶和華的聲音大有能力,

耶和華的聲音充滿威嚴。

耶和華的聲音震斷了香柏樹,

耶和華震斷了黎巴嫩的香柏樹。

他使黎巴嫩山跳躍像牛犢,

使西連山跳躍像野牛犢。

耶和華的聲音帶著火燄劈下。

耶和華的聲音震撼曠野,

耶和華震撼加低斯的曠野。

耶和華的聲音驚動母鹿生產,

使林中的樹木光禿凋零;

凡是在他殿中的都說:“榮耀啊!”

10 耶和華坐在洪水之上,

耶和華坐著為王直到永遠。

11 願耶和華賜力量給他的子民,

願耶和華賜平安的福給他的子民。
