Psalms 29: 1-11

THE LORD IS ENTHRONED AS KING 

Keywords 29:10

The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.

 

1. The voice of the LORD is powerful (1-9)

David compares the power of God’s voice to a big storm. David says, “The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.” His voice thunders over the raging waters, snaps great trees like little twigs, and even shakes the mountains. The Israelites often worshipped idols and pagan gods, but even these “heavenly beings” must bow before our God.

2. The LORD gives strength to his people (10-11)

Our powerful God is King over all creation. He reigned over the flood in Noah’s day, sending the rain and determining its extent. Everything is under his control, now and forever! His enemies tremble because they will never escape the storm of his fierce wrath. God’s people, on the other hand, can rejoice in gladness. His strength protects them and lifts them up. It is the source of their peace.

 

Prayer Lord, we rest in your mighty strength.

One Word Our God is King forever!
