Psalm 29:1-9 describes the awesome voice of the Lord. It says, “Ascribe to the LORD, O sons of the mighty, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. 2Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to His name; worship the LORD in holy array. 3The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD is over many waters. 4The voice of the LORD is powerful, the voice of the LORD is majestic.”
1. It destroys pride (:5)
“The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.”
2. It gives life (:6)
“He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox.”
3. It melts hearts (:7)
“The voice of the LORD hews out flames of fire.”
4. It overturns everything (:8-9)
“The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. 9The voice of the LORD makes the deer to calve and strips the forests bare…”
The best part about this chapter is the contrast found at the end of verse nine: God does all these wonderful things with His voice “…and in His temple everything says, ‘Glory!’”
There is nothing left to say.
