Herren lar sin enorme stemme høres. Den er som en mektig torden over de brusende vannmassene. Hans stemme er full av herlighet. Den er så skarp at Libanons trær slås til splinter under dens kraft. Ved lyden av Han stemme hopper Libanon og Sirjon som unge villokser. Hans stemme kan dele flammer i to.
