Salmos 29:5-11

5 La voz del Señor
parte los enormes cedros;
el Señor
hace pedazos los cedros del Líbano.

6 Hace brincar como terneras a las montañas del Líbano;
hace saltar el monte Hermón
como a un buey joven y salvaje.

7 La voz del Señor
resuena
con relámpagos.

8 La voz del Señor
hace temblar al lugar desolado;
el Señor
sacude el desierto de Cades.

9 La voz del Señor
retuerce los fuertes robles
y desnuda los bosques.
En su templo todos gritan: «¡Gloria!».

10 El Señor
gobierna las aguas de la inundación;
el Señor
gobierna como rey para siempre.

11 El Señor
le da fuerza a su pueblo;
el Señor
lo bendice con paz.

Salmos 29:5-11 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 29

\\<>\\. In the Vulgate Latin version is added, "at the finishing of the tabernacle"; suggesting that this psalm was composed at that time, and on that occasion; not at the finishing of the tabernacle by Moses, but at the finishing of the tent or tabernacle which David made for the ark in Zion, 2Sa 6:17. The title in the Arabic version is, ``a prophecy concerning the incarnation, ark, and tabernacle.'' In the Septuagint version, from whence the Vulgate seems to have taken the clause, it is, at the "exodion", "exit", or "going out of the tabernacle"; that is, of the feast of tabernacles; and which was the eighth day of the feast, and was called true, which word the Septuagint renders exodion, the word here used, Le 23:36, Nu 29:35; though it was on the first of the common days of this feast that this psalm was sung, as Maimonides {w} says. Some think it was composed when the psalmist was in a thunder storm, or had lately been in one, which he in a very beautiful manner describes. Kimchi thinks it refers to the times of the Messiah; and it may indeed be very well interpreted of the Gospel, and is very suitable to Gospel times. {w} Hilchot Tamidin, c. 10. s. 11.
