Psalm 29

A Davidic Psalm.

Praise to the Majestic Lord

29 Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings;
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    worship the Lord wearing holy attire.

3 The voice of the Lord was heard[a] above the waters;
    the God of glory thundered;
        the Lord was heard[b] over many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
    the voice of the Lord is majestic.
5 The voice of the Lord snaps the cedars;[c]
    the Lord snaps the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes them stagger like a calf,
    even Lebanon and Sirion[d] like a young wild ox.

7 The voice of the Lord shoots out flashes of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
        the voice of the Lord shakes[e] the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord causes deer to give birth,
    and strips the forest bare.
        In his Temple all of them shout, “Glory!”

10 The Lord sat enthroned over the flood,
    and the Lord sits as king forever.
11 The Lord will give strength to his people;
    the Lord will bless his people with peace.

Job 39:26-40:5

On Raptors

26 “Is it by your understanding that the hawk flies,
    spreading its wings toward the south?
27 Does the eagle soar high at your command[a]
    and build its nest on the highest crags?
28 He dwells on the crags where he makes his home,
    there on the rocky crag is his stronghold.
29 From there he searches for prey,
    and his eyes recognize it from a distance.
30 His young ones feast[b] on blood;
    he’ll be found wherever there’s a carcass.”[c]

The Lord Challenges Job Again

40 The Lord continued his response to Job by saying:

2 “Should the one who is fighting the Almighty find fault with him?[d]
    Let God’s accuser answer.”

Job Acknowledges His Limitations

3 Then Job replied to the Lord. He said:

4 “I must look insignificant to you!
    How can I answer you?
        I’m speechless.[e]
5 I spoke once,
    but I can’t answer;
I tried[f] a second time,
    but I won’t do so anymore.”

John 14:25-26

25 “I have told you this while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything that I have told you.
