Commentary on Psalms 29:11

Theological / Devotional

Strength. The God whose power is seen so strikingly in the storm is abundantly able to uphold His people (see Isa. 40:29–31).

Peace. The most gracious gift that Heaven can bestow upon mortals (see Ps. 85:8, 10; John 14:27; Phil. 4:7; 1 Thess. 5:23). There is no sweeter word in any language. Churchill said, “Outside, the storms of war may blow and the lands may be lashed with the fury of its gales, but in our own hearts … there is peace.” Thus the symphony of Ps. 29, which has swelled to an ear-shattering crescendo, ends in the softest pianissimo (Soncino, on the Psalms). “Peace be unto you” (John 20:21, 26), says the Prince of Peace.
