Where is the path to the source of light? Where is the home of the east wind?

“Who created a channel for the torrents of rain? Who laid out the path for the lightning?

Can you make lightning appear and cause it to strike as you direct?

“When it sneezes, it flashes light! Its eyes are like the red of dawn.

Lightning leaps from its mouth; flames of fire flash out.

He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies; great bolts of lightning flashed, and they were confused.

You light a lamp for me. The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness.

Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O Lord.

Psalm 27

A psalm of David.

The Lord is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?

The voice of the Lord strikes with bolts of lightning.

For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.

Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.

They did not conquer the land with their swords; it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory. It was your right hand and strong arm and the blinding light from your face that helped them, for you loved them.

But they will die like all before them and never again see the light of day.

For you have rescued me from death; you have kept my feet from slipping. So now I can walk in your presence, O God, in your life-giving light.

Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind, and the powerful are not what they appear to be. If you weigh them on the scales, together they are lighter than a breath of air.

The clouds poured down rain; the thunder rumbled in the sky. Your arrows of lightning flashed.

Your thunder roared from the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world! The earth trembled and shook.

He abandoned their cattle to the hail, their livestock to bolts of lightning.

Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, Lord.

His lightning flashes out across the world. The earth sees and trembles.

Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right.

You are dressed in a robe of light. You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens;

He sent them hail instead of rain, and lightning flashed over the land.

The Lord spread a cloud above them as a covering and gave them a great fire to light the darkness.
