2 Samuel 22:14

¹⁰Those who strive with the LORD shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. “The LORD will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.”

²Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth. ³He sends it out under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth. ⁴After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn’t hold back anything when his voice is heard. ⁵God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.

³The LORD’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters. ⁴The LORD’s voice is powerful. The LORD’s voice is full of majesty. ⁵The LORD’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. ⁶He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox. ⁷The LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning. ⁸The LORD’s voice shakes the wilderness. The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. ⁹The LORD’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”

¹⁷Isn’t it wheat harvest today? I will call to the LORD, that he may send thunder and rain; and you will know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the LORD’s sight, in asking for a king.”

¹⁸So Samuel called to the LORD, and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day. Then all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.

¹⁰As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines came near to battle against Israel; but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.

⁶and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”

¹⁶The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed. ¹⁷The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around. ¹⁸The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook. ¹⁹Your way was through the sea, your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

¹⁹God’s temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.

⁹Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?

³⁰The LORD will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.
