Psalm, Chapter 29
The Voice of the Lord in the Storm.
A Psalm of David.
29 Ascribe to the Lord, O [a]sons of the mighty,
Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory [b]due to His name;
Worship the Lord in [c]holy array.
- David starts chapter 29 with “the Voice of the Lord in the Storm”
o Storms can be very powerful
o God’s voice is even more so…
- Ascribe to the Lord, O sons of the Mighty
o Sons of the Mighty would be His children (Christians)
o Sons of the Mighty may also refer to the sons of Men of power and position who would not normally ascribe to God’s power nor His authority over their lives
§ Yet when God talks; they will instantly bow in fear and great reverence for the sheer power and terror that enters the heart of man when God speaks
o To Ascribe means
§ To regard as arising from a specified cause or source: synonym: attribute.
§ To regard as belonging to or produced by a specified agent, place, or time.
§ To attribute, impute, or refer, as to a cause
- Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength
o His glory is on display in the heavens above
o His strength places the stars in the sky and holds the ocean boarders
- Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name
o His name is the only name under heaven whereby a man or woman may be saved
o His name has the power of eternal life
o His name is the greatest name ever spoken and ever will be
- Ascribe is used three times
o First in our relationship as sons of the Mighty Lord (Position)
o Second in His glory and strength (Power)
o Third the glory due His name (Praise)
3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;
The God of glory thunders,
The Lord is over [d]many waters.
- The voice of the Lord is upon the waters
o This means above the waters (not below)
o This means in control not controlled by the waves or current
- The God of glory thunders
o Thunder is loud but only happens after flashes of light (thunder)
o Notice God is the one who makes these sounds
- The Lord is over many waters
o Not just a portion of the ocean, lake or riven you find yourself upon
o But many waters means – all the water, all at once
o All the oceans, seas, lakes, rivers above and below the earth
