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.
