Lord, in the morning you will hear me; in the morning I will present my case to you and then wait expectantly for an answer.

Turn back from me, all you who behave wickedly, for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping!

The Lord thundered in the sky; the sovereign One shouted.

Hear my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your holy temple!

The Lord’s shout is heard over the water; the majestic God thunders, the Lord appears over the surging water.

The Lord’s shout breaks the cedars, the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

The Lord’s shout bends the large trees and strips the leaves from the forests. Everyone in his temple says, “Majestic!”

One deep stream calls out to another at the sound of your waterfalls; all your billows and waves overwhelm me.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown. God gives a shout, the earth dissolves.

For the music director; by the Korahites; a psalm. All you nations, clap your hands! Shout out to God in celebration!

because of what the enemy says, and because of how the wicked pressure me, for they hurl trouble down upon me and angrily attack me.

that does not respond to the magicians, or to a skilled snake-charmer.

For the music director; a psalm of David. Listen to me, O God, as I offer my lament! Protect my life from the enemy’s terrifying attacks.

The clouds poured down rain; the skies thundered. Yes, your arrows flashed about.

Your thunderous voice was heard in the wind; the lightning bolts lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

But my people did not obey me; Israel did not submit to me.

The waves roar, O Lord, the waves roar, the waves roar and crash.

Above the sound of the surging water, and the mighty waves of the sea, the Lord sits enthroned in majesty.

For he is our God; we are the people of his pasture, the sheep he owns. Today, if only you would obey him!

Praise the Lord, you angels of his, you powerful warriors who carry out his decrees and obey his orders!
