Psalms 29:5-9

The Voice of the LORD in Glory and Peace

ascribe glory -> worship in holy splendor -> hear the LORD's voice over the waters -> behold creation shaken -> join the temple cry of glory -> rest under the enthroned King who gives strength and peace

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

5The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

6He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox.

7The voice of the LORD strikes with flames of fire.

8The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.

9The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”
