PSALM 29: Voice of the Lord (like Thunder)

Psalm 29:
The voice of the LORD is powerful;
 the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
vs. 4

"A thunderstorm is viewed in this psalm, not as a phenomenon of impersonal nature, but as an act of divine intervention.
...it is a hymn.



I.       The Lord’s Supremacy over Heavenly Beings (29:1-2);
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. vs.2
II.      The Lord’s Supremacy over the  forces of Nature (29:3-9);

The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters. vs.3
III.     The Lord’s Supremacy over Humanity (29:10-11).

The LORD will give strength unto his people; vs.11
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters. The thunder is not only poetically but instructively called the voice of God, since it peals from on high; it surpasses all other sounds, it inspires awe, it is entirely independent of man, and has been used on some occasions as the grand accompaniment of God's speech to Adam's sons."

The LORD sitteth upon the flood;
yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. vs.1
