Psalm 29: The Hurricane Psalm
Batten down the hatches, secure the sails!
Bring in the picnic chairs and shut all the windows!
A storm is coming!!
The Lord our God is strong and mighty!
All glory belongs to our God!
His name is magnificent,
His voice echoes with power!
Dark clouds gather.
The wind picks up and tosses the waves.
Lightning flash, thunder rolls, rain blasts,
air whips, trees strain, branches crack,
flying rubbish, bursting streams …
The Lord our God is strong and mighty!
All glory belongs to our God!
His name is magnificent,
His voice echoes with power!
Even in our terror we marvel.
Even as the windows whistle we cry “Glory!”
Ours is not a tame God.
Our world gets tossed and tumbled,
blowing away our illusion of security.
Lord, give us strength.
Lord, bless us with peace.
The Lord our God is strong and mighty!
All glory belongs to our God!
His name is magnificent,
His voice echoes with power!
Batten down the hatches, secure the sails!
Bring in the picnic chairs and shut all the windows!
A storm is coming!!
The Lord our God is strong and mighty!
All glory belongs to our God!
His name is magnificent,
His voice echoes with power!
Dark clouds gather.
The wind picks up and tosses the waves.
Lightning flash, thunder rolls, rain blasts,
air whips, trees strain, branches crack,
flying rubbish, bursting streams …
The Lord our God is strong and mighty!
All glory belongs to our God!
His name is magnificent,
His voice echoes with power!
Even in our terror we marvel.
Even as the windows whistle we cry “Glory!”
Ours is not a tame God.
Our world gets tossed and tumbled,
blowing away our illusion of security.
Lord, give us strength.
Lord, bless us with peace.
The Lord our God is strong and mighty!
All glory belongs to our God!
His name is magnificent,
His voice echoes with power!
