11 Jehovah strength to his people giveth, Jehovah blesseth His people with peace!
`Jehovah bless thee and keep thee; `Jehovah cause His face to shine upon thee, and favour thee; `Jehovah lift up His countenance upon thee, and appoint for thee -- peace. `And they have put My name upon the sons of Israel, and I -- I do bless them.'
But those expecting Jehovah pass `to' power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!
He is giving power to the weary, And to those not strong He increaseth might.
Fearful, O God, out of Thy sanctuaries, The God of Israel Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed `is' God!
and may the Lord of the peace Himself give to you the peace always in every way; the Lord `is' with you all!
for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;
Jehovah `is' strength to him, Yea, the strength of the salvation of His anointed `is' He. Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed them, and carry them to the age!
In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul `with' strength.
these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage -- I have overcome the world.'
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. To the increase of the princely power, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on his kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, Henceforth, even unto the age, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this.
`Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid;
And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.
Flourish in his days doth the righteous, And abundance of peace till the moon is not.
and having come, he did proclaim good news -- peace to you -- the far-off and the nigh,
Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,

Commentary on Psalms 29 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 29
It is the probable conjecture of some very good interpreters that David penned this psalm upon occasion, and just at the time, of a great storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, as the eighth psalm was his meditation in a moon-light night and the nineteenth in a sunny morning.
