Psalm 29 - NKJV
1 Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones,
Give unto the LORD glory and strength.
2 Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name;
Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
The God of glory thunders;
The LORD is over many waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful;
The voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars,
Yes, the LORD splinters the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes them also skip like a calf,
Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;
The LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth,
And strips the forests bare;
And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”
10 The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood,
And the LORD sits as King forever.
11 The LORD will give strength to His people;
The LORD will bless His people with peace.
A Psalm of David.

The Voice of the Lord
God deserves some glory - some credit. Just his voice is better than the muscles of ten thousand men. At his voice the earth trembles.
Notice here the oft-repeated phrase, "Voice of the Lord." I have never heard the voice of the Lord, except by the quiet whisper of the Holy Spirit.
There was once an old, oft repeated advertisment on the televions for E.F. Hutton.
In the ad, a group of people sit at a crowded, noisy restaurant or something, and one sophisticated businessman
says to businessman, "My broker is E.F. Hutton, and E.F. Hutton says ... "
The crowd falls silent, listening. The tag line wemt something like...
"When E.F. Hutton speaks, people listen."
Actually that's not quite true, E.F. Hutton was absorbed by Smith Barney, but what is forever true is...
When God Speaks Everyone Listens!
1 Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones,
Give unto the LORD glory and strength.
2 Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name;
Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
