‏ Psalms 29:10

God Is King Forever

These verses are the answer to the prayer in Psa 29:1-2. In Psa 29:10 we see Who the LORD is as the One Who has power over everything. In Psa 29:11 we see Who He is to His people.

His dominion over all is shown in His rule over the flood (Psa 29:10). This speaks of the judgment He brings on the earth, a judgment similar to the “flood” of the deluge (Gen 6:17). The LORD “sits as King” above it, He rules over it, it is His judgment. But just as with the deluge then, He keeps a remnant during the judgments.

Just as a new world emerged after the deluge, so also this judgment storm is needed if there is to be a new world, a new heaven and a new earth (Isa 65:17-25). On that earth cleansed by judgment, the remnant spared by Him may dwell under the rule of the Lord Jesus, Who reigns as King from Jerusalem. His reign does not end; it is an eternal reign (Dan 2:44).

God has taken away the power of the mighty rulers of Psa 29:2 and hands it over to “His people” (Psa 29:11). Israel will exercise world domination with the LORD in their midst and do so from the peace with which they have been blessed by His God. There will be an abundance of peace that will fill the whole earth (Psa 72:7-8). It is the peace that prevails on earth after the tempestuous storms.

For the practice of our life of faith, the psalm is an encouragement. Those who are in trouble because they are treated with hostility by the world see here that God is in control of everything. He has the power to strike down the strongest opposition. When the believing heart considers this, it receives strength to persevere and there is peace in Him.
