The psalm before us is indeed glorious. "Now unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty" is one of my favorite settings, but there are several good ones. It is obvious to the most casual reader that this psalm is a powerful piece of poetry. But its glory seems to largely elude the commentators, who inevitably seem to miss the forest for the trees. Sure, there are some references to a thunderstorm in this psalm. But most of the commentators organize their reading of the psalm around the storm it purportedly depicts. Believe me, though: this psalm is not here to celebrate God merely in the thunderstorm, but in all the glory of His voice. The more closely we listen to the thunder of the God of glory, the more magnificence we hear. Our look at this psalm this evening will be guided by all that we have learned in the previous 28 psalms. Here, as elsewhere, the king is the speaker. The king has the right to command angels; the king celebrates the voice of Yahweh; and the king announces Yahweh's plans to give royal gifts to His people. That is the briefest of summaries; dive in with me to hear how rich this celebration of Yahweh's voice really is.
