The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 29:4

The voice of the Lord is powerful ; literally, in power, or with power ( LXX ; ἐν ἰσχύΐ ). The voice of the Lord is full of majesty ; literally, in majesty , or with majesty. Two somewhat distant crashes, each louder than the preceding one, are thought to be represented—the storm sweeping on, and gradually drawing nearer and more near. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 29:5

The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars . At length down swoops the hurricane—wind and rain and forked flashes of lightning all blended together, and violently tearing through the forest. The tall cedars—the pride and glory of Syria and Palestine—are snapped like reeds, and fall in a tangled mass. The Lord , who erstwhile "planted them" (Psalm cir. 16), now breaketh the cedars of Lebanon— breaketh and destroyeth them in his fury. Such storms, though rare in Palestine and Syria, are... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 29:4

The voice of the Lord is powerful - Margin, as in Hebrew: “in power.” That is, is mighty; or, has strength. Allusion may be made to what seems to be the effect of thunder in prostrating trees, or tearing off their limbs, or it may be merely to the loud sound of the thunder.Is full of majesty - Margin, as in Hebrew, “in majesty.” That is, it is grand, sublime, overpowering. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 29:5

Breaketh the cedars - The thunder prostrates the lofty trees of the forest. The psalmist speaks as things appeared, attributing, as was natural, and as was commonly done, that to the thunder which was really produced by the lightning. It, is now fully known that the effect here referred to is not produced by thunder, but by the rapid passage of the electric fluid as it passes from the cloud to the earth. that power is so great as to rive the oak or the cedar; to twist off their limbs; to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 29:1-11

Psalms 29:0 God in the stormOn the occasion referred to here a furious storm displays to people something of the might and glory of God.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 29:4

"The voice of Jehovah is powerful;The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars;Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.""Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars" (Psalms 29:5). Thunder in this psalm is metaphorically referred to as "The voice of Jehovah." But in this clause and the very similar one in Psalms 29:3, it is God Himself who is "upon the waters" and who "breaketh the cedars."It is really frightening to see first hand what... read more
