Psalm 29

The Voice of God in a Great Storm

A Psalm of David.

1 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,[a]
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.(A)
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;
    worship the Lord in holy splendor.(B)

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

5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
    the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.(E)
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf
    and Sirion like a young wild ox.(F)

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 Kadesh.(G)

9 The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl[b]
    and strips the forest bare,
    and in his temple all say, “Glory!”(H)

10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
    the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.(I)
11 May the Lord give strength to his people!
    May the Lord bless his people with peace!(J)

Job 39:26-40:5

26 “Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars
    and spreads its wings toward the south?
27 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up
    and makes its nest on high?(A)
28 It lives on the rock and makes its home
    in the fastness of the rocky crag.
29 From there it spies the prey;
    its eyes see it from far away.(B)
30 Its young ones suck up blood,
    and where the slain are, there it is.”(C)

40 And the Lord said to Job:

2 “Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty?[a]
    Anyone who argues with God must respond.”(D)

Job’s Response to God

3 Then Job answered the Lord:

4 “See, I am of small account; what shall I answer you?
    I lay my hand on my mouth.(E)
5 I have spoken once, and I will not answer,
    twice but will proceed no further.”(F)

John 14:25-26

25 “I have said these things to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Advocate,[a] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I have said to you.(A)
