1 (A Psalm of David.) Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.
11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

Matthew Henry's Psalms Chapter 29 Bible commentary...
Exhortation to give glory to God.
- The mighty and honourable of the earth are especially bound to honour and worship him; but, alas, few attempt to worship him in the beauty of holiness. When we come before him as the Redeemer of sinners, in repentance faith, and love, he will accept our defective services, pardon the sin that cleaves to them, and approve of that measure of holiness which the Holy Spirit enables us to exercise. We have here the nature of religious worship; it is giving to the Lord the glory due to his name. We must be holy in all our religious services, devoted to God, and to his will and glory. There is a beauty in holiness, and that puts beauty upon all acts of worship. The psalmist here sets forth God's dominion in the kingdom of nature. In the thunder, and lightning, and storm, we may see and hear his glory. Let our hearts be thereby filled with great, and high, and honourable thoughts of God, in the holy adoring of whom, the power of godliness so much consists. O Lord our God, thou art very great! The power of the lightning equals the terror of the thunder. The fear caused by these effects of the Divine power, should remind us of the mighty power of God, of man's weakness, and of the defenceless and desperate condition of the wicked in the day of judgment. But the effects of the Divine word upon the souls of men, under the power of the Holy Spirit, are far greater than those of thunder storms in the nature world. Thereby the stoutest are made to tremble, the proudest are cast down, the secrets of the heart are brought to light, sinners are converted, the savage, sensual, and unclean, become harmless, gentle, and pure. If we have heard God's voice, and have fled for refuge to the hope set before us, let us remember that children need not fear their Father's voice, when he speaks in anger to his enemies. While those tremble who are without shelter, let those who abide in his appointed refuge bless him for their security, looking forward to the day of judgment without dismay, safe as Noah in the ark.

Timothy Wayne George's Psalms Chapter 29 comment about verse 11 on 3/01/2013, 7:13am...
Yahweh will give strength to His people. Yahweh will bless His people with peace. This is a song for the Dedication of the Temple by King David. We must give the glory that is due to Jehovah, and all honor. We must worship the Lord in the beauty of Holiness. The voice of the Lord is majestic over all the earth, and He alone is worthy of our praise. Heaven will be continually praising God, and we are getting a glimpse of this in this Psalm. The Lord will be King forever.

It is a Psalm that tells us how powerful the voice of God is, and how God can use his voice to terrify our adversaries when we give the glory due to his name.
Ephraim Isobara's Psalms Chapter 29 comment on 6/11/2012, 10:13pm...
Through his Holy inspiration David discovered what the Lord needs from us. 'the Glory due his name' through worship. God in his reaction to our worship speaks. David describes the character of his words. He likened great warring countries of his time 'Lebanon and Syria' like a little bull. David was a military ruller, Might, Strength and Peace means so much to him. He concludes by acknowledging that Strength and Peace are God's blessings to his worshippers

David describes the character of his words. He likened great warring countries of his time 'Lebanon and Syria' like a little bull. But God gives the gift of Strength and Peace to his worshippers
H. Chisholm's Psalms Chapter 29 comment on 4/29/2012, 9:18am...
From the opening, David teaches us to give to God His deserved honor. Then,David acknowledges the power of God's voice and spoken word. David finishes the psalm recognizing the Lord's eternal diety, and how He under-girds His people with strength and peace.
What a great psalm for an example of understanding the character of God.
