Psalms 29:7

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.

8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
The Lord shakes the Wilderness of ^aKadesh.

9 The voice of the Lord makes the ^adeer give birth,
And strips the forests bare;
And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”

10 The ^aLord sat enthroned at the Flood,
And ^bthe Lord sits as King forever.

11 ^aThe Lord will give strength to His people;
The Lord will bless His people with peace.

What Does Psalms 29:7 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.
