Psalm 29

The Voice of the Lord in the Storm.

A Psalm of David.

29 (A)Ascribe to the Lord, [a]sons of the mighty,
Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory [b]due His name;
Worship the Lord (B)in holy attire.

The (C)voice of the Lord is on the waters;
The God of glory (D)thunders,
The Lord is over [c](E)many waters.
The voice of the Lord is (F)powerful,
The voice of the Lord is majestic.
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
Yes, the Lord breaks (G)the cedars of Lebanon in pieces.
He makes Lebanon (H)skip like a calf,
And (I)Sirion like a young wild ox.
The voice of the Lord divides [d]flames of fire.
The voice of the Lord [e]shakes the wilderness;
The Lord shakes the wilderness of (J)Kadesh.
The voice of the Lord makes (K)the deer give birth
And strips the forests bare;
And (L)in His temple everything says, “Glory!”

10 The Lord sat as King at the (M)flood;
Yes, the Lord sits as (N)King forever.
11 [f]The Lord will give (O)strength to His people;
[g]The Lord will bless His people with (P)peace.

Exodus 40:16-38

16 So Moses did these things; according to all that the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

17 Now (A)in the first month [a]of the second year, on the first day of the month, the [b]tabernacle was erected. 18 Moses erected the tabernacle and [c]laid its bases, and set up its boards, and [d]inserted its bars, and erected its pillars. 19 And he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent [e]on top of it, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 20 Then he took (B)the testimony and put it into the ark, and [f]attached the poles to the ark, and put the [g]atoning cover [h]on top of the ark. 21 He then brought the ark into the tabernacle, and (C)set up a veil for the covering, and screened off the ark of the testimony, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 22 He also (D)put the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil. 23 And he set the arrangement of (E)bread in order on it before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 24 Then he placed the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle. 25 And he (F)lighted the lamps before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 26 Then he (G)placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the veil; 27 and he (H)burned fragrant incense on it, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 28 Then he set up the curtain for the doorway of the tabernacle. 29 And he (I)set the altar of burnt offering in front of the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and (J)offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 30 He placed the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing. 31 (K)From it Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet. 32 When they entered the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 33 And he (L)erected the courtyard all around the [i]tabernacle and the altar, and [j]hung up the curtain for the gate of the courtyard. So Moses finished the work.

The Glory of the Lord

34 (M)Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the (N)glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses (O)was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 36 Throughout their journeys, (P)whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out; 37 but (Q)if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up. 38 For throughout their journeys, (R)the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.

Acts 16:35-40

35 Now when day came, the chief magistrates sent their officers, saying, “Release those men.” 36 And (A)the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The chief magistrates have sent word that you be released. So come out now and go (B)in peace.” 37 But Paul said to them, “After beating us in public without due process—(C)men who are Romans—they threw us into prison; and now they are releasing us secretly? No indeed! On the contrary, let them come [a]in person and lead us out.” 38 The officers reported these words to the chief magistrates. (D)And they became fearful when they heard that they were Romans, 39 and they came and pleaded with them, and when they had led them out, they repeatedly asked them (E)to leave the city. 40 They left the prison and entered the house of (F)Lydia, and when they saw (G)the brothers and sisters, they [b]encouraged them and departed.
