4 Yahweh's voice is powerful. Yahweh's voice is full of majesty.
To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke. He stirs up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he strikes through Rahab. By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent. Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?"
Or have you an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him? "Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty. Pour forth the fury of your anger. Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low. Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Yahweh that renders recompense to his enemies.
He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens: when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!"
