Psalm 29
It is probable David wrote this psalm, during a storm of
thunder, lightning, and rain; as that he wrote the eighth in a moon-
shining night, and the nineteenth in a sun-shining morning. He
calls on the great to give glory to God, ver. 1, 2. Observes his
power in thunder and lightning, Ver. 3-9. His dominion over the
world and care over the church, ver. 10, 11. A psalm of David.
Verse 1. Ye - Ye potentates and rulers of the earth. Glory - By an
humble and thankful acknowledgment of it.
Verse 2. Give, &c. - The honour which he deserves: own him as the
Almighty, and the only true God. Holiness - Or, in his holy and
beautiful house.
Verse 3. The waters - Above in the clouds, which are called waters, Gen.
i, 7 chap. xviii, 11. The Divine power displays itself in those high
places, which are far above the reach of all earthly potentates.
Many - Upon the clouds, in which there are vast treasures of
water, and upon which God is said to sit or ride, chap. xviii, 10,
11; civ, 3.
Verse 5. Lebanon - A place famous for strong and lofty cedars.
Verse 6. Them - The cedars; which being broken by the thunder, the
parts of them are suddenly and violently hurled hither and thither.
Sirion - An high mountain beyond Jordan joining to Lebanon.
Lebanon and Sirion are said to skip or leap, both here, and chap.
cxiv, 4, by a poetical hyperbole.
Verse 7. The flames - The lightnings.
Verse 8. Kadesh - An eminent wilderness, vast and terrible, and well
known to the Israelites, and wherein possibly they had seen, and
observed some such effects of thunder.
Verse 9. To calve - Through the terror it causes, which hastens the birth.
He names the hinds, because they bring forth their young with
difficulty, Job xxxix, 1, 2. Discovereth - Hebrew. maketh bare, of
its trees, which it breaks or strips of their leaves. Glory - Having
shewed the terrible effects of God's power in other places, he now
shews the blessed privilege of God's people, that are praising God
in his temple, when the rest of the world are trembling under the
tokens of his displeasure.
Verse 10. The flood - The most violent waters, which sometimes fall
from the clouds upon the earth. These are fitly mentioned, as
being many times the companions of great thunders. And this may
be alleged as another reason, why God's people praised him in his
temple, because as he sends terrible tempests and thunders, so he
also restrains and over-rules them. Sitteth - He doth sit, and will
sit as king for ever, sending such tempests when it pleaseth him.
