- Who might be the “Divine beings” to which reference is made in Psalms 29:1?
- Do the initial verses ask for anything or, rather, are they in the nature of praise for Divinity?
- In Psalms 29:3-5 reference is made to God’s power “over the waters”, “breaking cedars” and similar reference; would this be a poetic refrain in which the speaker ascribes to God power over all of the forces of nature?
- In Psalms 29:10, does the “flood” refer to the Noah experience? And, does it indicate that while God is “in nature” God is also above nature?
- Judging from Psalms 29:11, would this passage be appropriate for congregational Tefillah — indicating that the described, omnipotent /Divinity is importuned to help His people — and to which “people” would reference be made?
