(28)
The storm: the Lord is passing
God speaks through the tempest. It is there that he shows his power and his glory.
1 Give the Lord, O sons of God,
give the Lord glory and strength,
2 give the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in great liturgy.
3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord thunders over vast waters.
4 How powerful is the voice of the Lord,
How splenderous is the voice of the Lord.
5 The voice of the Lord tears up the cedars,
the Lord is shattering the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
and Sirion like a young wild bull.
7 The voice of the Lord breaks forth with flashes of fire,
8 the voice of the Lord makes the wilderness quake,
The Lord is shaking the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord makes the oaks shudder,
the Lord strips the forests bare,
and in his temple all cry, “Glory!”
10 Over the flood the Lord was sitting;
the Lord is king and he reigns fore ver.
11 May the Lord give his people strength;
may the Lord bless his people with peace!
