Psalm 29

Psalm 29 is a hymn to God's power and might, especially as manifested in natural phenomena. It's possible that the biblical author was caught in a thunderstorm and thought to express his awe through this text. William L. Holladay believes that it is one of the oldest of the Psalms, although one might quibble with his reason for so assuming. Psalm 29 appears near the climax of Charlotte Mary Yonge's The Heir of Redcliffe, which had a huge influence on Abraham Kuyper's walk with God. It is the last Psalm sung at evening prayer on the 5th day of the month in the Book of Common Prayer.
