OUTLINE

King over gods and God’s people (1-2, 11)
Psalm 29 - Ascribe to the LORD, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. 2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. 11 The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. (NIV11)

King over the god of storms, storms, and the storm of storms (3-8, 10)
3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters. 4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic. 5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes Lebanon leap like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox. 7 The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning. 8 The voice of the LORD shakes the desert; the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh. 10 The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.

King in his creation temple/palace (9)
9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”
