Psalm 29

In Psalm 29 David call out to the heavenly beings to praise God in the mighty rainstorm that passes east to west from the waters of the Mediterranean sea, over the mountains of Lebanon, and on to the desert land of Syria. Throughout the storm the voice of God is heard in control. In the song, The Grand Old Story, the author writes, “I see your love of beauty in the sunset, I feel your awesome power in every storm.” Such awareness prompts the Psalmist to call on the angelic beings to lift their voices in praise to God, victorious over the broad expanse of the natural world. 

 
                     Psalm 29
 
Give Yahweh due praise, you heavenly beings
Praise his holy name;
Let it roll out like thunder over the waters
Its power the world sets aflame.
 
The voice of the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon
He makes mountains skip like a calf;
Lebanon leaps like a young wild ox
The Lord makes the lightening flash.
 
The voice of Yahweh makes the desert shake
Shouts of glory never cease;
The Lord is enthroned as king forever
He blesses his people with peace.
