Start the week with Brilliance

Attribute to the LORD
majesty and strength
the honor owed His Name.

Worship the LORD in the brilliance of His Holiness.

The voice of the LORD

• is above the oceans
• is strong
• is glorious
• destroys obstacles in its way
• bursts forth in flashes
• disrupts dry lands
• fells great trees
• makes forests naked.

The voice of His worshippers cry, "Glory!"

The LORD

• is exalted above the torrents of life
• reigns as monarch forever
• empowers His people
• bestows peace on His own.

Thank you, Father, that all of Your 

• beauty
• glory
• power
• purpose

are

• tempered
• applied

to my life that I might rest in peace. Amen

Psalm 29  (NIV, 1984)

A psalm of David.

¹ Ascribe to the Lord, O mighty ones,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
² Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    worship the Lord in the splendor of his 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 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
    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 forever.
¹¹ The Lord gives strength to his people;
    the Lord blesses his people with peace.
