The images are only intended to provide resonances with some aspects of the psalm; they are not intended as one-to-one correspondences.
images: Sirion (Deuteronomy 3:9) The Lake of Tiberias, looking towards Hermon by David Roberts 1855.

Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast. Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.” Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.

Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life. If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause. Father, glorify your name!”

Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”

Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
(John 12: 20-33)

A Psalm of David
PSALM 29 11 11 11 11

1 You mighty ones, give to the LORD as his right,
Ascribe to the LORD God both glory and might.
2 To the LORD’s name due glory and honour accord;
In beauty of holiness worship the LORD.

3 The LORD’s voice is over the waters abroad,
And thunder proceeds from the glorious God.
Above all the waters God’s thunder is heard;
4 A powèrful voice is the voice of the LORD.

The voice of the LORD is majestic and loud;
5 By the voice of the LORD the great cedars are bowed.
Yes, even the cedars of Lebanon tall,
The LORD breaks in pieces and shatters them all.

6 Like the leap of a calf he shakes Lebanon’s rocks,
And Sirion skips like a startled wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD causes lightning to flash;
8 The voice of the LORD makes the wilderness crash.

The LORD makes the desert of Kadesh to shake;
9 The LORD causes oaks of the forest to quake.
The trees of the forest he strips of their leaves,
And he in his temple great glory receives.

10 The LORD over floods sits as monarch alone;
The LORD sits for ever as King on his throne.
11 The LORD makes the strength of his people increase;
The LORD gives his people the blessing of peace.
