13. Over all this splendor of tempest pealed the dread thunder. Fit accompaniment for the flames of vengeance. How will men bear to hear it at the last when addressed to them in proclamation of their doom? Even now their hearts are in their mouths if they do but hear it muttering from afar. In all this terror David found a theme for song, and thus every believer finds even in the terrors of God a subject for holy praise. Hailstones and coals of fire are twice mentioned to show how certainly they are in the divine hand, and are the weapons of Heaven’s vengeance. May the thunderstorm assure us of the real power of him who is our Father and our friend, and tend to assure us of our safety while he fights our battles for us.
