4 The voice of Jehovah `is' with power, The voice of Jehovah `is' with majesty,
To him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old, Lo, He giveth with His voice a strong voice.
Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke. By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud. By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent. Lo, these `are' the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
And an arm like God hast thou? And with a voice like Him dost thou thunder? Put on, I pray thee, excellency and loftiness, Yea, honour and beauty put on. Scatter abroad the wrath of thine anger, And see every proud one, and make him low. See every proud one -- humble him, And tread down the wicked in their place.
For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.
A voice of noise `is' from the city, a voice from the temple, The voice of Jehovah, giving recompence to His enemies.
The maker of earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding stretched out the heavens, At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters `are' in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And He bringeth out wind from His treasures.
And a noise of the wings of the cherubs hath been heard unto the outer court, as the voice of God -- the Mighty One -- in His speaking.
and amazement came upon all, and they were speaking together, with one another, saying, `What `is' this word, that with authority and power he doth command the unclean spirits, and they come forth?'

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. It is good to take occasion from the sensible operations of God's power in the kingdom of nature to give glory to him. So composed was David, and so cheerful, even in a dreadful tempest, when others trembled, that then he penned this psalm; for, "though the earth be removed, yet will we not fear.'
A psalm of David.
