PSALM 29 - the voice of the LORD!

Psalm 29

On the voice of the LORD!

vv. 1-2: Introduction – heavenly being should ascribe Him the glory

vv. 3-9: Voice of the LORD

vv. 10-11: Conclusion – LORD is enthroned

Introduction: Ascribe or give to the LORD

    O, Heavenly beings (sons of the mighty one) – angels and/or godly people

    Glory and strength

    Glory due His name

Worship in splendor of holiness – beauty of holiness. No wonder the traditional church buildings are (1) separate from regular use and (2) beautiful inside and outside

 

Voice of the LORD – 7 aspects of the voice of the LORD

The beauty of the structure: 1 long, then 2+3 (short), 4 long, 5+6 (short), 7 long 

1. Many waters + glory thunder!

2. powerful

3. full of majesty or beauty (similar to v. 2 “splendor”)

4. Breaks cedars, Lebanon, Sirion (one of the peaks in Lebanon)

5. flames of fire

6. shakes the wilderness

7. makes the deer give birth

Strips the forest bare

Call to worship – in His temple (maybe, creation) all cry “Glory!”

Conclusion – He is enthroned (See John 19:15)

He gives the blessings, blessings with peace
