We look at the 29th psalm and the role of suffering in our lives

 

READING

Psalm 29

Ascribe to God, you heavenly beings, ascribe to God glory and strength.

Ascribe due honor to God’s holy Name; worship the Most High in the beauty of holiness.

The voice of God is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders; God is upon the mighty waters.

The voice of God is a powerful voice; the voice of God is a voice of splendor.

The voice of God breaks the cedar trees; God breaks the cedars of Lebanon;

God makes Lebanon skip like a calf and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.

The voice of God splits the flames of fire; the voice of God shakes the wilderness; God shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of God makes the oak trees writhe and strips the forests bare.

And in the temple of the Holy One, all are crying, “Glory!”

God sits enthroned above the flood, enthroned as Sovereign for evermore.

God shall give strength to the people; God shall give the people the blessing of peace.

from the St Helena Psalter
