Lyrics

 


1 Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.
10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.
11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.1

Inscription and Authorship

In the Hebrew, this is called A Psalm for David. The Vulgate says, "A Psalm of David, when the tabernacle was completed." The Septuagint says: "A Psalm of David, at the going out or exodus of the tabernacle." The Arabic states it to be "A prophecy concerning the incarnation; and concerning the ark and the tent." Num. v. 12. The Syriac, "A Psalm of David, concerning oblation." The Psalm was probably written to commemorate the abundant rain which fell in the days of David, after the heavens had been shut up for three years; 2 Sam. xxi. 1-10.2

Song of the Thunderstorm

Psalm 29 has been entitled The Song of the Thunderstorm, The Song of the Seven Thunders. It is typical of all the Hebrew nature psalms. In this psalm a storm is thrillingly described from its beginning, through the height of its intensity, until it dies away. The psalm describes a hurricane coming in from the Mediterranean and sweeping over the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountains before it loses force in the eastern desert.3
 

 

Hymn inspired by Psalm 29

Tradition says that in the Second Temple this psalm was sung on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles. The psalm now forms a part of the synagogue service on the first day of Pentecost and is included in the Sabbath liturgy. The second stanza of Robert Grant's hymn, "O Worship the King," doubtless found inspiration in Psalm 29.3
 

 

Division

I. He calls upon the great ones of the world to give glory to God (v. 1, 2).
II. To convince them of the goodness of that God whom they were to adore, he takes notice of his power and terror in the thunder, and lightning, and thunder-showers (v. 3-9), his sovereign dominion over the world (v. 10), and his special favour to his church (v. 11).
Great and high thoughts of God should fill us in singing this psalm.4
