Psalm 29 is a song of worship that extols the majesty and the power of God manifested in nature, especially in the storm. Following are five verses from other Bible books that relate to the topics covered in Psalm 29.
Job 38:25-27: "Who has opened channels to the torrents of the flood, and a way to the lightning of the thunder, to water the desert and arid land, and to grow the grass in it?" This verse is part of God's discourse to Job, in which he reminds him that he is the creator and sustainer of nature. The reference to thunder and rain connects with the description of the storm in Psalm 29.
Isaiah 30:30: "And the Lord will listen to his majestic voice, and will see the lowering of his arm, with ardent indignation and consumer fire flakes, with whirlwinds, storms and stone of Saraiva." This verse speaks of God's judgment about the people of Israel, who will come with storm and fire. The language of storm and thunder again relates to Psalm 29.
Jeremiah 10:13: "When he thunders, the waters roar the heavens; he raises the clouds from the ends of the earth, makes lightning to the rain, and makes the wind out of his treasures." This verse describes God's power and authority over nature, including thunder and rain. Again, these elements connect with the storm described in Psalm 29.
Ezekiel 1:24: "And when they walked, the noise of their wings was heard, like the noise of many waters, like the voice of the omnipotent, a bang like the noise of an army moving; and, stopping them, lowered your wings. " This verse describes a vision of the prophet Ezekiel, in which he sees heavenly creatures with wings that make a sound similar to that of the waters and the voice of God. The sound of the waters is another image that appears in Psalm 29.
Revelation 4:5-6: "And the throne came outstairs, voices and thunder; before the throne they burned seven fire lamps, which are the seven spirits of God; and before the throne there was a sea of glass, similar to the crystal . " This verse describes the vision of John of the throne of God in heaven, surrounded by powerful natural phenomena, including thunder and a sea of glass. The image of the throne and thunder relates to the theme of God as the sovereign and powerful ruler presented in Psalm 29.
