psalm-29:11

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 29:11

The Lord will give strength unto his people - This is a practical application of the sentiments of the psalm, or a conclusion which is fairly to be derived from the main thought in the psalm. The idea is, that the God who presides over the tempest and the storm, the God who has such power, and can produce such effects, is abundantly able to uphold His people, and to defend them. In other words, the application of such amazing power will be to protect His people, and to save them from danger.... read more

Psalms 29David praised God for His awesome power as a consequence of contemplating a severe thunderstorm, either a real storm or one in his mind’s eye."David was an outdoorsman who appreciated nature and celebrated the power of Jehovah the Creator. Jewish worshipers today use this psalm in the synagogue as a part of their celebration of Pentecost." [Note: Wiersbe, The . . .

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 29:11

The same power Yahweh employs in storms is available to His people. As He can cause a storm to subside, so He can bring peace into our lives (cf. Mark 4:37-39). Thus the Lord is not just transcendent over all and able to control the forces of nature. He is also a resource for those to whom He has committed Himself with covenant promises."The subject of the psalm is the demonstration of God’s glory in nature, but its impact is the opposite. It gives a sense of tranquility and awe. Yahweh, our... read more

War for the Sake of Peace Psalms 29:11 I. There are many kinds of suffering and trial and effort that men may have to undergo, and war is only one of them. Now, when instead of fancying war as we guess it might be, we have seen war as it is brought almost under our eyes, we learn a truer notion of what it is. We have seen that victory is not to be won only by daring, by readiness to do some great thing, and strength of purpose in the action of a moment or an hour; it is patience, endurance,... read more
