A Psalm of David. 29:1 Ascribe to the Lord, O sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. 29:2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in holy array. 29:3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; The God of glory thunders, The Lord is over many waters. 29:4 The voice of the Lord is powerful, The voice of the Lord is majestic. 29:5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; Yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. 29:6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, And Sirion like a young wild ox. 29:7 The voice of the Lord hews out flames of fire. 29:8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; The Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. 29:9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer to calve And strips the forests bare; And in His temple everything says, \u2018Glory!\u2019 29:10 The Lord sat as King at the flood; Yes, the Lord sits as King forever. 29:11 The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace.

Give praise in the presence of the Lord, O bands of angels; give glory and might in the Lord\u2019s presence. 29:2 Give the glory of his name in the presence of the Lord; bow down before the Lord in the splendor of holiness. 29:3 The voice of the Lord is heard above the waters; in his glorious might the Lord called out over many waters. 29:4 The voice of the Lord is heard in strength; the voice of the Lord is heard in splendor. 29:5 The voice of the Lord shatters cedars; the word of the Lord has shattered the cedars of Lebanon. 29:6 And he made them jump like a calf \u2013 Lebanon, and the Mount of Noisome Fruit, like the young of oxen. 29:7 The voice of the Lord splits flames of fire. 29:8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the word of the Lord shakes the wilderness of Rekem. 29:9 The voice of the Lord impregnates the hinds, and makes the beasts of the forest give birth; and in his sanctuary above, all his servants say, \u201cGlory,\u201d in his presence. 29:10 In the generation of the Flood, the Lord sat on his throne of judgment to take vengeance on them; and the Lord sat on the throne of mercy and saved Noah; and he reigns over his children forever and ever. 29: 11 The Lord gave the Torah to his people; the Lord will bless his people in peace.

Psalmoi \/ Psalms 29<\/span><\/p>\n

A Psalm of David on the occasion of the solemn assembly of the Tabernacle. 29:1 Bring to the Lord, ye sons of God, bring to the Lord young rams; bring to the Lord glory and honour. 29:2 Bring to the Lord glory, due to his name; worship the lord in his holy court. 29:3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory has thundered: the Lord is upon many waters. 29:4 The voice of the Lord is mighty; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. 29:5 There is the voice of the Lord who breaks the cedars; the Lord will break the cedars of Libanus. 29:6 And he will beat them small, even Libanus itself, like a calf; and the beloved one is as a young unicorn. 29:7 There is a voice of the Lord who divides a flame of fire. 29:8 A voice of the Lord who shakes the wilderness; the Lord will shake the wilderness of Cades. 29:9 The voice of the Lord strengthens the hinds, and will uncover the thickets: and in his temple every one speaks of his glory. 29:10 The Lord will dwell on the waterflood: and the Lord will sit a king for ever. 29:11 The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.

Devarim \/ Deuteronomy 32:1-4<\/span><\/p>\n

32:1 \u2018Give ear, O heavens, and let me speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth. 32:2 \u2018Let my teaching drop as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, As the droplets on the fresh grass And as the showers on the herb. 32:3 \u2018For I proclaim the name of the Lord; Ascribe greatness to our God! 32:4 \u2018The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Targum Onkelos, Devarim \/ Deuteronomy 32:1-4<\/span><\/p>\n

LISTEN, ye heavens, and I will speak ; give ear, O earth, to the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall be soft as rain; let it be received as the dew, and my word be as the breath of the rain that breathes upon the grass, and as the showers of the latter rain upon the herbage. For in the Name of the Lord do I invoke: Ascribe ye greatness unto our God; the Mighty One whose works are perfect; for all His ways are justice; a faithful God from whom no iniquity proceedeth, just and true is He.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Targum Onkelos is very similar to the Masoretic text saying that we are to Ascribe greatness to the Lord our God and the reason is that His works are perfect, His ways are justice and truth. The Targum Pseudo Jonathan on the other hand contains a significantly expanded text on the first four verses from Parashat Haazinu.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

And when the last end of Moshe the prophet was at hand, that he should be gathered from among the world, he said in his heart: I will not attest against this people with witnesses that taste of death in this world, behold, I attest against them with witnesses which do not taste of death in this world, and whose destination is to be renewed in the world to come. Isaiah the prophet, when he prophesied in the congregation of Israel, attributed hearing to the heavens, and attentiveness to the earth; because (in his case) earth was nearest and heaven more remote: but Moshe the prophet, when he now prophesied in the congregation of Israel, attributed hearing to the earth, and attentiveness to the heavens; because (in his case) heaven was nearest and earth more remote; for so it is written, Attend, ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall smite the rebellious like heavy rain; but shall be enjoyed with pleasantness by those who receive instruction, as the dew: my words shall be like the down-falling rain of the wind that breathes upon the grass in the month of Marchesvan, and as the droppings of the latter rain which water the springing herbage of the earth in Nisan. Woe to the wicked who make memorial of the Holy Name with blasphemies. Wherefore Moshe, who was the Doctor of Israel, would not permit himself to pronounce the Holy Name until he had dedicated his mouth at the beginning of his hymn with eighty and five letters, making twenty and one words, and afterwards be spake: In the Name of the Lord I invoke you, O house of Israel, to ascribe glory and greatness before our God. Moshe the prophet said: When I ascended the mountain of Sinai, I beheld the Lord of all the worlds, the Lord, dividing the day into four portions; three hours employed in the law, three with judgment, three in making marriage bonds between man and woman, and appointing to elevate or to abase, arid three hours in the care of every created thing: for so it is written: The Mighty One whose works are perfect, for all His ways are judgment, a faithful God before whom no iniquity comes forth, pure and upright is He. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Notice how the rabbis go on to provide a rich description (interpretation) in Targum Pseudo Jonathan on the first four verses from <\/span><\/a>Parashat Haazinu, the rabbis describe the reason why Moshe called upon <\/span>\u201cHeaven and Earth\u201d<\/span> to listen. They say that Moshe searched for a witness against these people who did not taste death in this world and is destined to be renewed in the world to come. Heaven and earth would become an everlasting witness against the wicked. They also say that <\/span>\u201chearing\u201d<\/span> is attributed to the earth and <\/span>\u201cattentiveness\u201d<\/span> is attributed to the heavens. Moshe says that his words will strike at the heart of the wicked whereas the righteous will delight in his words. The rabbis also say that Moshe dedicated (sanctified) his mouth before pronouncing the Holy Name of God. Following these things, Moshe calls upon the people to <\/span>\u201cascribe glory and greatness before our God.\u201d<\/span> What does it mean to <\/span>\u201cascribe\u201d<\/span> or <\/span>\u201cto give\u201d<\/span> to the Lord glory and strength? Are not greatness and glory already a part of who God is? How do we ascribe glory and strength to the Lord God Almighty who is glorious and strong?

(NASB)<\/span> The Septuagint (Greek Translation) of <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 29:1<\/span> parallels the ascribing glory and strength to the sons of God bringing sacrifices of young rams and honor to the Lord, whereas the rabbis in the Targum Pseudo Jonathan indicate that David is telling the Angels to give glory and strength in God\u2019s presence. The meaning of the word <\/span>\u201cascribe\u201d<\/span> or <\/span>\u201cto give\u201d<\/span> within the context of <\/span><\/a>Parashat Haazinu along with the various translations of the Masoretic text suggest that we are to give glory, honor, and strength to the Lord, not only by the words of our lips, but also by our actions in our lives. Notice in Parashat Haazinu from Targum Pseudo Jonathan, Moshe sanctified his lips by speaking the Word of God prior to proclaiming the Holy Name. This suggests the importance of our sanctifying our bodies, setting our bodies apart for service to the Lord. The Apostle Paul wrote in <\/span>Romans 12:1<\/span> 1<\/span>\u03a0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u1ff6 \u03bf\u1f56\u03bd \u1f51\u03bc\u1fb6\u03c2, \u1f00\u03b4\u03b5\u03bb\u03c6\u03bf\u1f77, \u03b4\u03b9\u1f70 \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u03bf\u1f30\u03ba\u03c4\u03b9\u03c1\u03bc\u1ff6\u03bd \u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 \u03b8\u03b5\u03bf\u1fe6, \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u1fc6\u03c3\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c4\u1f70 \u03c3\u1f7d\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1 \u1f51\u03bc\u1ff6\u03bd \u03b8\u03c5\u03c3\u1f77\u03b1\u03bd \u03b6\u1ff6\u03c3\u03b1\u03bd \u1f01\u03b3\u1f77\u03b1\u03bd \u03b5\u1f50\u1f71\u03c1\u03b5\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd \u03c4\u1ff7 \u03b8\u03b5\u1ff7, \u03c4\u1f74\u03bd \u03bb\u03bf\u03b3\u03b9\u03ba\u1f74\u03bd \u03bb\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03b5\u1f77\u03b1\u03bd \u1f51\u03bc\u1ff6\u03bd: <\/span>12:1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. (NASB)<\/span> He said we are to offer our bodies as living sacrifices and that this is our spiritual act of worship. Looking closely at the Torah and the Psalms of David, it is very easy to see how Paul determined that our spiritual act of worship is not just inwardly but also outwardly. The way we live on this earth is a spiritual act of worship before the Lord. Based upon Paul\u2019s letter to the Romans, and upon David\u2019s words here in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 29:1<\/span>, everything that we do is spiritual and therefore in everything we do we give glory and strength to the Lord. <\/span>1 Corinthians 13:4-8<\/span> shows us the characteristics of God\u2019s love, the Love of God expresses itself outwardly in acts of righteousness. In a similar manner, we show our love for the Lord in our outward acts of righteousness and holiness. This is the understanding the Apostle James had when he said in <\/span>James 2:23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, \u2018And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,\u2019 and he was called the friend of God. 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. (NASB)<\/span> David says <\/span>29:1 Ascribe to the Lord, O sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. (NASB)<\/span> we are to do this in prayer, in worship, and in the way that we live before God. David\u2019s words here suggest that the glory, the honor, the greatness (strength) of God is manifested in the way that he works in our lives, to make us new, to deliver us from sin, and saving us from our enemies.<\/span><\/p>\n

This seems to be the point David is making when he says in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 29:2<\/span>, <\/span>\u05d1 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d1\u05d5\u05bc \u05dc\u05b7\u05d9\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05db\u05bc\u05b0\u05d1\u05d5\u05b9\u05d3 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05b9 \u05d4\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05d5\u05d5\u05bc \u05dc\u05b7\u05d9\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d4\u05b7\u05d3\u05b0\u05e8\u05b7\u05ea-\u05e7\u05b9\u05d3\u05b6\u05e9\u05c1: <\/span> 29:2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in holy array.

(LXX)<\/span> The example of strength is that the voice of the Lord is upon the waters and that the glory of God thunders over many waters. Is this a reference to the flood account in <\/span><\/a>Parashat Noach (<\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 6:9-11:32<\/span>)? Or, is this a reference to the roar of the oceans or of a waterfall? We also know that in Parashat Bereshit, in the beginning in <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 1:1-3<\/span>, in order to create the universe, <\/span>\u201cthe spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light\u201d<\/span> Was David thinking of the power and might (strength) of God in His creation of the Heaven\u2019s and the Earth? This follows through with the idea that David was thinking upon <\/span><\/a>Parashat Haazinu (<\/span>Devarim \/ Deuteronomy 32:3<\/span>). In <\/span><\/a>Parashat Bereshit, the Spirit of God hovered over the waters and then the voice of God spoke the Word and said <\/span>\u201clet there be light and there was light.\u201d<\/span> David\u2019s words of the <\/span>\u201cvoice of the Lord is upon the waters\u201d<\/span> is very indicative that David was thinking of both Parashat Haazinu and Bereshit. The Ruach (Spirit) of God we know may also be translated as <\/span>\u201cwind,\u201d<\/span> it moves, we cannot see it but we can feel it. The Spirit of God is what represents God\u2019s power. The mind and disposition of man demonstrates the power by which He (the Lord) puts His thoughts into operation in the hearts of men. <\/span>\u201c23:7 For as he thinks within himself, so he is. He says to you, \u2018Eat and drink!\u2019 But his heart is not with you.\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>Mishley \/ Proverbs 23:7,<\/span> \u05d6 \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 | \u05db\u05bc\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05b9-\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05e2\u05b7\u05e8 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e0\u05b7\u05e4\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05b9 \u05db\u05bc\u05b6\u05df-\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05d0\u05b1\u05db\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc \u05d5\u05bc\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05ea\u05b5\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b9\u05d0\u05de\u05b7\u05e8 \u05dc\u05b8\u05da\u05b0 \u05d5\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d1\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05dc-\u05e2\u05b4\u05de\u05bc\u05b8\u05da\u05b0:<\/span>); and similarly the Lord God He is spirit (<\/span>John 4:24 \u2018God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.\u2019 NASB)<\/span>. In the Tanach we find references to <\/span>\u201cthe Spirit of God\u201d<\/span> or <\/span>\u201cthe Spirit of the Lord.\u201d<\/span> Passages found in <\/span>Acts 2<\/span>, records the pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles on the day of Shavuot (Pentecost). Peter explained that this was a fulfillment of the prophecy of Joel, in which it is described as the pouring out of <\/span>\u201cmy (God\u2019s) Spirit\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>Acts 2:17<\/span>). The gospel of <\/span>Luke 4:1<\/span> records that Yeshua <\/span>\u201cbeing full of the Holy spirit\u201d<\/span> returned from Jordan; later in the same chapter Yeshua speaks of this also being a fulfillment of <\/span>Isaiah 61<\/span> (<\/span>\u201cThe Spirit of the Lord God is upon me…\u201d<\/span>). Then in the Apostolic writings the Holy Spirit of God is paralleled with the power of God in <\/span>Luke 1:35 The angel answered and said to her, \u2018The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God. (NASB),<\/span> Paul said in <\/span>Romans 15:13-19, 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (NASB), <\/span>and<\/span> 15:19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. (NASB) <\/span> He also said to the Thessalonians in <\/span>1 Thessalonians 1:5 for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake. (NASB)<\/span> The promise of the Holy Spirit to the disciples was spoken of as their being <\/span>Luke 24:49 \u201c… clothed with power from on high.\u201d<\/span> Yeshua is described as being <\/span>Acts 10:38 \u201c… anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.\u201d (NASB)<\/span> In addition to this, the Apostle Paul said that his preaching was with undeniable displays of God\u2019s power (<\/span>1 Corinthians 2:4<\/span>) in the demonstration of the Spirit (Ruach) of God. <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 29:2<\/span>, which states<\/span>\u05d1 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d1\u05d5\u05bc \u05dc\u05b7\u05d9\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05db\u05bc\u05b0\u05d1\u05d5\u05b9\u05d3 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05b9 \u05d4\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05d5\u05d5\u05bc \u05dc\u05b7\u05d9\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d4\u05b7\u05d3\u05b0\u05e8\u05b7\u05ea-\u05e7\u05b9\u05d3\u05b6\u05e9\u05c1: <\/span> 29:2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in holy array.
