mighty.

Heb. sons of the mighty.

• Book 1, Series 5. The appearing of Christ. (““The Placement of the Psalms in Prophecy”” by B. Anstey)

• It is a summons to the mighty of the earth to own and give glory to Jehovah—the honor due to His name. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 29-32” by J.N. Darby)

• The 29th Psalm is not a prayer of the faithful, nor an unfolding of their distress, nor the expression of their exercises. It is a definite testimony to the strength and glory of the Lord, for the encouragement of His people. (“Psalms 29” by H. Smith)

• The literal meaning of the word used for the “mighty” is “gods,” a word, we are told, never by itself meaning “God,” but always “the gods” (Ex. 15:11; Dan. 11:36). It refers not to angelic beings, but to those mighty men who are responsible to God as His representatives in government upon the earth (John 10:34-35). (“Psalms 29” by H. Smith)
