Psalms 18:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 18:13

The Lord also thundered in the heavens
By his apostles and ministers, some of which were Boanergeses, sons of thunder, whose ministry was useful to shake the consciences of men, and bring them to a sense of themselves, ( Mark 3:17 ) ;

and the Highest gave his voice;
the same with thunder; for thunder is often called the voice of the Lord, ( Job 37:5 ) ( 40:9 ) ( Psalms 29:3-9 ) ; compare with this ( Psalms 68:11 ) ; the Targum interprets it, "he lifted up his word"; the same effects as before follow,

hail [stones] and coals of fire; (See Gill on Psalms 18:12).

Psalms 18:13 In-Context

11 Now he's wrapped himself in a trenchcoat of black-cloud darkness.

12 But his cloud-brightness bursts through, spraying hailstones and fireballs.

13 Then God thundered out of heaven; the High God gave a great shout, spraying hailstones and fireballs.

14 God shoots his arrows - pandemonium! He hurls his lightnings - a rout!

15 The secret sources of ocean are exposed, the hidden depths of earth lie uncovered The moment you roar in protest, let loose your hurricane anger.
