Psalm 29 - The Voice of the LORD
A thundering storm psalm celebrating the power and majesty of God's voice.
Psalm 29 calls the mighty to give the LORD glory and strength, part of the wider praise gathered in this Psalms overview, then pictures His voice as a thunderstorm rolling over the waters. The phrase "the voice of the LORD" repeats through the chapter as it breaks the cedars of Lebanon and shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David's house.
I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.
O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and thou hast healed me.
Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit.
Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.
For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.
And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.
O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.
To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.
What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?
The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:
To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.
