Notes

The Hebrew word qol can mean "voice," "noise" (1 Kings 1:45), or "thunder" (Joel 3:16). The Lord's voice is awe-inspiring and overpowers any sounds people might attribute to other gods.

This nature hymn in praise of the Creator declares that the Lord holds all power over nature. God uses the same unsurpassed strength to care for his people.
