1. ‘At this my heart poundsand leaps from its place.
2. Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice,to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
3. He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heavenand sends it to the ends of the earth.
4. After that comes the sound of his roar;he thunders with his majestic voice.When his voice resounds,he holds nothing back.
5. God’s voice thunders in marvellous ways;he does great things beyond our understanding.
6. He says to the snow, “Fall on the earth,”and to the rain shower, “Be a mighty downpour.”
7. So that everyone he has made may know his work,he stops all people from their labour.
8. The animals take cover;they remain in their dens.
