The Second Painting shows musical instruments similar to those upon which David played his song about the LORD's power. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Psalm 29, David extols the greatness of the LORD and invites us to worship him. He speaks of various natural phenomena such as thunder, lightning, waters, and so on. The inspiration for the Psalm could have been various elements of Israel's escape from Egypt, the display of the LORD's power and glory at Sinai, and the subsequent wilderness wanderings. Or it may have been any (or many) of the thunderstorms which David witnessed. Or it may have been the rain which ended a long drought and famine recorded in 2 Samuel 21. David begins his Psalm with an exhortation to the mighty ones to give (or ascribe) glory to God for his strength and to worship him in the beauty (adornment) of holiness (1-2). He follows this exhortation with a series of images which focus on the power and majesty of God which is revealed by his voice. The LORD's voice thunders upon the waters. It is powerful and majestic. It breaks even the mighty cedars of Lebanon. It makes them and the mountains in which they grow skip like calves. It divides the flames (flashes) of fire (i.e., it splinters the lightening). It shakes the wilderness. It induces birth bangs in the deer, causing them to give birth to their calves. It strips the forests bare. In his (heavenly) temple everyone speaks of his glory (3-9). The LORD sits as the everlasting King upon the flood. He will give strength to his people and bless them with peace (10-11). [ Sermons: Paul D Tripp. Steven J Lawson.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms. Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth"). It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments"). I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
