Psalm 29

Commentary

The psalmist begins by calling on all heavenly beings to give glory to God, recognizing His majesty and power in the storm. The repetitive refrain of "the voice of the Lord" highlights the centrality of God's word in the creation and sustenance of all things. The psalmist also emphasizes the destructive force of the storm, indicating that God's power is not just a benign force, but one to be feared and respected. Yet, this fear and respect is tempered by the psalmist's assurance that God is also a loving God who blesses His people with peace. Ultimately, Psalm 29 is a reminder that God's power and strength are unmatched, and that He controls all things for the good of His people.
