PSALM 29. (L. M.) Storm and Thunder.
I
Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame,Give to the Lord renown and power,
Ascribe due honours to his name,
And his eternal might adore.
II
The Lord proclaims his power aloudOver the ocean and the land;
His voice divides the watery cloud,
And lightnings blaze at his command.
III
He speaks, and tempest, hail, and wind,Lay the wide forest bare around;
The fearful hart, and frighful hind,
Leap at the terror of the sound.

IV
To Lebanon he turns his voice,And lo, the stately cedars break;
The mountains tremble at the noise,
The vallies roar, the deserts quake.
V
The Lord sits sovereign on the flood,The thunderer reigns for ever king;
But makes his church his blest abode,
Where we his awful glories sing.
VI
In gentler language there the LordThe counsels of his grace imparts;
Amidst the raging storm his word
Speaks peace and courage to our hearts.
