Psalm 29—Everything in the wide home of the world flings Godward, crying, “Glory!”

God’s high heaven is choired 

With singers ringing back

Ranks of bright light in song.

Praise him!

 

His voice troubles over the sea,

And the waters writhe and surge.

The voice of God towers and crests

And rises up and up and up.

 

His voice topples tall empires like timber, 

And rattles proud cedars down.

The rock beneath my feet,

The ground I thought was steady,

Skipped and bucked like a calf 

When his clarion call sounded.

 

The voice of the Lord gouges flames of fire.

It shakes the weary wastes like a sheet.

The wind of his words

Strips the trees bare and everything

In the wide home of the world

Flings Godward, crying, “Glory!”

 

Though the sea and the world rage,

God is enthroned above the flood.

Lord, strengthen your people.

Lord, come be king and bring us peace!

Psalm 29&mdash;Everything in the wide home of the world flings Godward, crying, &ldquo;Glory!&rdquo;
God&rsquo;s high heaven is choired&nbsp;
With singers ringing back
Ranks of bright light in song.
Praise him!
&nbsp;
His voice troubles over the sea,
And the waters writhe and surge.
The voice of God towers and crests
And rises up and up and up.
&nbsp;
His voice topples tall empires like timber,&nbsp;
And rattles proud cedars down.
The rock beneath my feet,
The ground I thought was steady,
Skipped and bucked like a calf&nbsp;
When his clarion call sounded.
&nbsp;
The voice of the Lord gouges flames of fire.
It shakes the weary wastes like a sheet.
The wind of his words
Strips the trees bare and everything
In the wide home of the world
Flings Godward, crying, &ldquo;Glory!&rdquo;
&nbsp;
Though the sea and the world rage,
God is enthroned above the flood.
Lord, strengthen your people.
Lord, come be king and bring us peace!

The Darkling Psalter

The Psalms were written to be sung, prayed, and heard. The Darkling Psalter presents original poetic reimaginings of the biblical Psalms by Andy Patton. These are not translations or paraphrases, but companion poems that seek to capture the movement, imagery, emotion, and theology of each psalm in fresh poetic language.

Each episode invites listeners to hear one of Scripture's oldest songs through a contemporary poetic imagination, offering a fresh way into lament, praise, confession, longing, and hope.
