The Lord’s shout bends the large trees and strips the leaves from the forests. Everyone in his temple says, “Majestic!”
O Lord, I love the temple where you live, the place where your splendor is revealed.
We reflect on your loyal love, O God, within your temple.
Yes, in the sanctuary I have seen you, and witnessed your power and splendor.
For evil burned like a fire, it consumed thorns and briers; it burned up the thickets of the forest, and they went up in smoke.
