Margaret introduces slides and music, and then explores the themes of the psalm.Psalm 29A psalm of David.1 Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to his name;    worship the Lord in the splendour of his[a] holiness.3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;    the God of glory thunders,    the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;    the voice of the Lord is majestic.5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;    the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.6 He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,    Sirion[b] like a young wild ox.7 The voice of the Lord strikes    with flashes of lightning.8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;    the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.9 The voice of the Lord twists the oaks[c]    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 for ever.11 The Lord gives strength to his people;    the Lord blesses his people with peace.
