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

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

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

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

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

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