Psalms 29:4

2 ¹Give unto the Lord the glory² due to His name;
Worship the Lord in ^athe beauty of holiness.

3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
^aThe God of glory thunders;
The Lord is over many waters.

4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

5 The voice of the Lord breaks ^athe cedars,
Yes, the Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon.

6 ^aHe makes them also skip like a calf,
Lebanon and ^bSirion like a young wild ox.

7 The voice of the Lord¹ divides the flames of fire.

What Does Psalms 29:4 Mean?

Psalm 29:1-11

David uses "thunder" as a metaphor for the voice of God. For the purpose of instruction, the reason is to make obvious the connection between something that everybody is familiar with—the powerful, reverberating sound of thunder—and the power of God's spoken Word.
