Psalms 29

Psalms 29:2

Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

Worship ye the Lord in that beautiful and glorious Sanctuary, where he exhibits his presence to his people.

Psalms 29:3

The voice of the LORD is upon (or, over) the waters, &c.

The dreadful thunder, wherein God speaks his power unto us, is above in those higher waters of the clouds: there and thence doth God speak unto us, more loud and terribly than all the roaring of these lower waters.

Psalms 29:6

He maketh them to ship like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

The voice of this thunder makes the very earth to shake, so, as the great mountains of Lebanon and Herman are, as it were, moved out of their places with this horrible agitation.

Psalms 29:7

The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

This voice of the thunder causeth the fearful flashes of the lightnings to break forth of the clouds, to the astonishing of the world.

Psalms 29:9

The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests.

The terror of this voice causeth the hinds, which do not easily deliver themselves of their burden, to cast their calves, for fear; and so shaketh down, not the leaves and twigs only, but the very trees of the forest, that they are left bare, and open to all eyes.
