Commentary on Psalms 29:2

Theological / Devotional

The beauty of holiness. Literally, “in holy adornment.” This phrase appears again in Ps. 96:9. Beyond the attiring of the body is the adorning of the soul. No external comeliness can compare with the beauty of holy character (see 1 Peter 3:3, 4). In this prelude, if angels are intended by the phrase “mighty” (see on Ps. 29:1), the psalmist lifts us from the earth to heaven by calling on the angels to praise Him whose power is manifested in the thunderstorm about to be described.
