Psalm 29:3 BSB

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 29:3

Psalms 29:3. The voice of the Lord That is, thunder, frequently so called; is upon the waters Upon the seas, where its noise spreads far and wide, and is very terrible; or rather above the clouds, which are sometimes called waters, as Genesis 1:7; Psalms 18:11, because they are of a watery substance, and frequently much water is contained in them. And this circumstance is noticed here as being of considerable importance to magnify the divine power, which displays itself in these... 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. The writer sees the storm approaching from the sea, bursting in its fury on the forest regions, then passing on into the barren areas to the south. He begins the psalm by urging heavenly beings to join with people on earth to worship God for his majesty and power (1-2).The psalmist sees the storm gathering over the sea and approaching with the sound of loud... read more

DESCRIPTION OF THE THUNDERSTORM"The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters:The glory of God thundereth.Even Jehovah upon many waters.The voice of Jehovah is powerful;The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.""The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters" (Psalms 29:3).

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 29:1-11

Psalms 29David praised God for His awesome power as a consequence of contemplating a severe thunderstorm, either a real storm or one in his mind’s eye."David was an outdoorsman who appreciated nature and celebrated the power of Jehovah the Creator. Jewish worshipers today use this psalm in the synagogue as a part of their celebration of Pentecost." [Note: Wiersbe, The . . . Wisdom . . ., p. 147.] Israel’s pagan neighbors gave the credit for storms and other natural phenomena to their gods.... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 29:3-4

David evidently saw the storm first over a large body of water, perhaps the Mediterranean Sea. He spoke of the thunder as God’s voice. This is an apt comparison, since thunder is a noise that comes from "heaven," i.e., the sky. However, he may also have used this figure to imply Yahweh’s control over His creation. God brought the creation into existence with a word (Genesis 1:3; Genesis 1:6; Genesis 1:9; Genesis 1:14; Genesis 1:20; Genesis 1:24). read more
