Commentary on Psalms 29:1

Theological / Devotional

Mighty. Heb. bene ’elim, the translation of which is uncertain. The LXX reads, “sons of God,” by which possibly the angels are meant (see on Job 1:6). The parallelism of Ps. 89:6 (the only other occurrence of the phrase in the psalms) seems to lend support to this idea.

Glory. The psalmist acknowledges God as the God of glory and might. The word “glory” is used as a climax in v. 9 (see Ps. 68:34).
