Psalms 29:5–9
The Lord's powerful voice shatters the cedars, shakes the vast desert, and uncovers the forests, leading all in His temple to shout His glory.
5 Yahweh’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.
7 Yahweh’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.
8 Yahweh’s voice shakes the wilderness. Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 Yahweh’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”
The Lord's powerful voice shatters the cedars, shakes the vast desert, and uncovers the forests, leading all in His temple to shout His glory.
To describe the devastating and transformative power of Yahweh’s voice as it moves across the landscape, shattering the strong, shaking the earth, and compelling a response of worship in His temple.
The Voice of the LORD in Glory and Peace
The LORD's glorious voice rules creation, summons worship, enthrones Him forever, and gives His people strength and peace.
