02.029. Psalm 29

Psalms 29:1-11 A Psalm of David. This psalm was probably composed on the occasion of a thunderstorm. It is a solemn charge from heaven, to great men to worship and glorify God; who (1.) In his magnificence and power thundereth in the most terrible, alarming, and destructive manner, Psalms 29:1-9. (2.) Who is supreme Governor of the world, and bestoweth strength and peace on his peculiar people, Psalms 29:10-11.

While I sing, let me by faith behold the glory of God in Christ, and be filled with reverential awe of his power and grace. And while I adore his perfections, admire and praise his excellencies, let Jerusalem come into my mind; and let me apprehend the promise, and pour forth a prayer for the remnant which is left.
