시편 29:1-3 KRV

The glorious sceptre of universal power. There are many productions of poets and poetesses, celebrating the grandeur of nature, and the glory of God as manifested in the works of his hands; but there are none which, even in a poetical point of view, surpass those in Job 26:1-14 ; Job 28:1-28 ; Job 38:1-41 .; Isaiah 40:1-31 .; Psalms 104:1-35 ; Psalms 19:1-14 ; Psalms 147:1-20 ; and that in the psalm before us now, which rises to the very noblest heights of Hebrew poetry, in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 29:1-11

The works and the Word of God should not be separated. They are both revelations, and the one is necessary to the right interpretation of the other. If we study God's works by themselves, we are apt to forget God's Word, and so forget God himself. If, on the other hand, we confine ourselves to God's Word, we are in danger of falling into a similar error—that of forgetting God's presence in his works, and so turning the world without us into a world without God. The psalmist shows us a more... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 29:1-11

The thunderstorm. Compare this with the nineteenth and eighth psalms—all nature psalms. This is a wonderful description of a thunderstorm. I. THE OMNIPOTENCE OF GOD IN NATURE INSPIRES THE DEVOUT MIND WITH THE SPIRIT OF WORSHIP . Inspires the common mind with fear. The scientific mind with inquiry. Inflames the imagination of the poetic mind. But fills the devout mind with the spirit of worship of the great invisible Creator. "Give unto the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 29:2

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his Name (comp. Psalms 96:8 ); literally, the glory of his Name ; i.e. the glory properly belonging to it. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness (comp. Psalms 96:9 ). This is generally explained as an exhortation to worship God in beautiful vestments, or with all the accessories of a beautiful ceremonial; but Dr. Alexander rightly questions whether the Beauty inherent in holiness itself is not meant. The apostle speaks of "the ornament ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 29:2

The beauty of holiness. To every devout Israelite Jerusalem was "the perfection of beauty," "the joy of the whole earth" ( Psalms 48:2 ; Psalms 50:2 ); because the temple of the Lord was there. Its gorgeous ritual, white-robed priests and Levites, choral psalms, clangour of trumpets, harps, cymbals, all seemed the highest ideal of worship, the very visible "beauty of holiness." To all this we may well see an allusion in these words. Hence the Revisers put in the margin, "holy array;"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 29:3

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters . The description of God's might in the thunderstorm now begins with one of the sudden transitions which David loves. "The voice of the Lord"—already identified with the thunder in Psalms 18:13 —is suddenly heard muttering in the height of heaven, "upon the waters;" i.e. the waters stored in the clouds that float on high in the air. The God of glory —the God set forth in Psalms 18:1 , Psalms 18:2 — thundereth . It is he himself, according... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 29:1

Give unto the Lord - Ascribe unto Yahweh; or, recognize Him as entitled to what is here ascribed to Him. The word cannot be understood, as it is commonly with us, to denote the imparting to another, or granting to another what he does not now possess - for God is always in possession of what is here ascribed to Him.O ye mighty - Margin, as in Hebrew, “ye sons of the mighty.” The Hebrew word used here - אלים 'Êliym - is the plural form of one of the names of God - אל 'Êl. The word means... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 29:2

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name - Margin: “the honor of his name.” The honor of His name is that which is due to it, or which properly belongs to it. The “name” is put here, as it often is, for God Himself; and the meaning is, “Ascribe to God the honor that is properly his due.” This is a claim addressed to the angels; it is a claim certainly not less binding on people. It is practically a call upon all creatures in the universe to ascribe due honor to God.Worship the Lord - This... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 29:3

The voice of the Lord - The voice of Yahweh. There can be no doubt that the expression here, which is seven times repeated in the psalm, “the voice of Jehovah,” refers to thunder; and no one can fail to see the appropriateness of the expression. In heavy thunder it seems as if God spake. It comes from above. It fills us with awe. We know, indeed, that thunder as well as the other phenomena in the world, is produced by what are called “natural causes;” that there is no miracle in thunder; and... read more
