Psalms 29:3-9

The exhibition of Jehovah's power which is the ground of the opening call to praise. His voice is heard in the pealing of the thunder above the storm-clouds (Psalms 29:3); the storm bursts, it shatters the cedars and shakes the mountains in the far north (Psalms 29:5); the lightnings flash (Psalms 29:7); the deserts to the far south with their affrighted denizens tremble (Psalms 29:8); and over all resounds the chorus, Glory (Psalms 29:9 b). The seven times repeated voice of the Lordis like successive peals of thunder.
