the voice olf Jehovah is with state.
5 The voice of Jehovah is breaking cedars,

and Sirion like a bull-calf of wild-oxen :
7 The voice of Jehovah cleaveth open and letteth out flames
of fire.
8 The voice of Jehovah whirleih-about the wilderness,
Jehovah whirleth-about the ,wilderness of Kadesh :
9 The voice of Jehovah whirleth-about terebinth^,^
and strippeth-bare forests ;
Anld in his rtemple4 the whole of it is saying5-“Glory!”
10 Jehovah for the flood sat enthroned,
and Jehovah will sit enthroned a king to the ages;6
11 Jehovah will give strength to his people,
Jehovah will bless his people with prosperity.
