Psalms 29:11

Comp. Psalms 28:8-9; Psalms 46:1-3; and the blessing in Numbers 6.

24 26. For His own people He is not the God of terror; for them all ends in peace. "This closing word with peaceis like a rainbow arch over the Psalm. The beginning of the Psalm shews us heaven open, and the throne of God in the midst of the angelic songs of praise; while its close shews us His victorious people upon earth, blessed with peace in the midst of the terrible utterance of His wrath. Gloria in excelsisis the beginning, and pax in terristhe end." Delitzsch.
