Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 29:9

_ _ Terror-stricken animals and denuded forests close the illustration. In view of this scene of awful sublimity, God’s worshippers respond to the call of Psalms 29:2, and speak or cry, “Glory!” By “temple,” or “palace” (God’s residence, Psalms 5:7), may here be meant heaven, or the whole frame of nature, as the angels are called on for praise.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 29:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 29:9

To calve — Through the terror it causes, which hastens the birth. He names the hinds, because they bring forth their young with difficulty, Job 39:1-2. Discovereth — Heb. maketh bare, of its trees, which it breaks or strips of their leaves. Glory — Having shewed the terrible effects of God's power in other places, he now shews the blessed privilege of God's people, that are praising God in his temple, when the rest of the world are trembling under the tokens of his displeasure.
