|
|
<p id="Ps29_1"><a onclick="return mV('Psa',29,'1-11');">Psa 29:1-11</a>.
|
|
<p>Trust in God is encouraged by the celebration of His mighty power as illustrated in His dominion over the natural world, in some of its most terrible and wonderful exhibitions.
|
|
<p><b>1. Give</b>—or, "ascribe" (<a onclick="return mV('Deu',32,3);">Deu 32:3</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>mighty</b>—or, "sons of the mighty" (<a href= "#" onclick="return mV('Psa',89,6);">Psa 89:6</a>). Heavenly beings, as angels.
|
|
<p id="Ps29_2"><b>2. name</b>—as (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',5,11);">Psa 5:11</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',8,1);">8:1</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>beauty of holiness</b>—the loveliness of a spiritual worship, of which the perceptible beauty of the sanctuary worship was but a type.
|
|
<p id="Ps29_3"><b>3. The voice of the Lord</b>—audible exhibition of His power in the tempest, of which thunder is a specimen, but not the uniform or sole example.
|
|
<br><br><b>the waters</b>—the clouds or vapors (<a href= "#" onclick="return mV('Psa',18,11);">Psa 18:11</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jer',10,13);">Jer 10:13</a>).
|
|
<p id="Ps29_4"><b>4. powerful...majesty</b>—literally, "in power, in majesty."
|
|
<p id="Ps29_5"><b>5, 6.</b> The tall and large cedars, especially of Lebanon, are shivered, utterly broken. The waving of the mountain forests before the wind is expressed by the figure of skipping or leaping.
|
|
<p id="Ps29_7"><b>7. divideth</b>—literally, "hews off." The lightning, like flakes and splinters hewed from stone or wood, flies through the air.
|
|
<p id="Ps29_8"><b>8. the wilderness</b>—especially Kadesh, south of Judea, is selected as another scene of this display of divine power, as a vast and desolate region impresses the mind, like mountains, with images of grandeur.
|
|
<p id="Ps29_9"><b>9.</b> Terror-stricken animals and denuded forests close the illustration. In view of this scene of awful sublimity, God's worshippers respond to the call of <a onclick="return mV('Psa',29,2);">Psa 29:2</a>, and speak or cry, "Glory!" By "temple," or "palace" (God's residence, <a onclick="return mV('Psa',5,7);">Psa 5:7</a>), may here be meant heaven, or the whole frame of nature, as the angels are called on for praise.
|
|
<p id="Ps29_10"><b>10, 11.</b> Over this terrible raging of the elements God is enthroned, directing and restraining by sovereign power; and hence the comfort of His people. "This awful God is ours, our Father and our Love."
