Psalms 29:9
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.
The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”
10 The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.
11 The LORD gives His people strength; the LORD blesses His people with peace.
