"'Deep calleth unto deep at the dread noise 'Made by Thy waterspouts. The earth, it shook 'And trembled; the foundations of the hills 'Moved and were shaken for that He was wroth. 'The heavens moreover bowed He, and came down, 'He His pavilion round about Him made 'Dark waters and the thick clouds of the skies. "'Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, 'And therein the Most High gave forth His voice, 'Hailstones and coals of fire! "'Jehovah's voice 'In power! "'Jehovah's voice in majesty! "'Jehovah's voice is on the waters! God, 'The God of glory thunders! "'Lo, His voice, 'Jehovah's voice, the mighty cedar breaks, 'Jehovah's voice divides the flames of fire! "'Praise ye Jehovah, heavens of heavens, and ye 'Waters that be above the heavens, Him praise! 'Praise ye Jehovah, from the earth beneath, 'Thou fire, thou hail, thou snow, and vapors ye, 'Thou, stormy wind that dost fulfil His word!'" So Saul, in dialogue with the elements, That heard him, and responded voice for voice. Sublimity into sublimity Other, immeasurable heights more high, Was lifted and transformed, the terror gone, Gone or exalted to ennobling awe-- In converse such, God, with His image man! The thunder, and the lightning, and the hail Falling in power, the pomp of moving clouds, The sound of torrent and of cataract, The multitudinous orchestra of winds-- Trumpet and pipe, resounding cymbal loud, Timbrel and harp, sackbut and psaltery-- The majesty of cedars prostrate strewn In utmost adoration, the veiled sun, The kneeling heavens, face downward on the earth, In act of penitence as found unclean By the white-burning holiness of God-- All this wild gesture of the elements And deep convulsion of the frame of things, Appalling only erst, interpreted By interjections such from Saul of phrase Inspired, seemed from confusion and turmoil Transposed and harmonized to an august Service and symphony of prayer and praise And solemn liturgy of the universe.
