Chapter summary

Psalm 29 opens with a call directed to heavenly beings to ascribe glory and strength to the Lord and to worship Him in holy splendor. The text then describes the voice of the Lord echoing powerfully and majestically over many waters as the God of glory thunders. This divine voice shatters the cedars of Lebanon, causes Lebanon and Sirion to skip like young animals, and strikes with flames of fire. Continuing across the landscape, the voice shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh, twists oaks, and strips forests bare, prompting voices in His temple to cry out, "Glory!" Finally, the psalm portrays the Lord enthroned over the flood as eternal King, concluding with the statement that He gives strength to His people and blesses them with peace.
