The psalm ends with blessings of power and peace. The quiet after the storm brings its own message. The psalm may originally have been partly allegorical, referring to the peace mentioned by Isaiah (Isaiah 2:1–5; Isaiah 11:1–10), or to the peace under Solomon, when everyone dwelled in peace (1 Kings 4:25). Today the psalm can also teach us about the peace promised to us by our heavenly Father.
Psalm 29 confirms the linear passing of time from past to future, in contrast to the common notion in ancient times that everything happened according to a cycle with no discernible future. Gods were believed to die and rise again, as the harvests, rains, and droughts came and went. Baal worshippers especially held these beliefs. In contrast, Psalm 29 looks ahead to a peaceful future, consistent with the prophetic nature of the other books of Scripture. In contrast to Baal who died every year, our Lord is a living God. Christ needed to bring his sacrifice only once for us to live in all eternity.
11 May the LORD give strength to his people! May the LORD bless his people with peace!
