Psalms 29:5 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

The voice ... the cedars. "The cedars" are specified, being the stateliest of trees; among them those of Lebanon were pre- eminent. As the voice of Yahweh can instantly break these, so can it break the mightiest of the Church's foes (Psalms 29:10-11), who are often symbolized by cedars (Ezekiel 17:3-4; Ezekiel 17:22-24).
