Our first selection for the Songs for Saints (SFS) production is a metrical setting of the 29th Psalm.
This passage vividly portrays God in all His glory and splendor.
John Calvin said of David writing this passage“…(He) intended to humble the princes of this world, who, being intoxicated with pride, lift up their horns against God. This, accordingly, is the reason why he introduces God, with a terrific voice, subduing by thunders, hail-storms, tempests, and lightnings, these stubborn and stiff-necked giants, who, if they are not struck with fear, refuse to stand in awe of any power in heaven….David, therefore, commands them to give strength unto Jehovah, because, deluded by their treacherous imaginations, they think that the power which they possess is supplied to them from some other quarter than from heaven. In short, he exhorts them to lay aside their haughtiness, and their false opinion about their own strength, and to glorify God as he deserves.”
May this Psalm cause each of us as well as our nations, kings and rulers (Psalm 2) to humble ourselves before God of whom Jonah spoke “I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.” (Jonah 1:9)
