Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name

Psalm 29:1-11
Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to(歸於) the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.
The voice of the Lord: powerful, full of majesty, breaks the cedars, flashes forth flames of fire, shakes the wilderness, make the deer give birth, strips the forests bare.
The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.
In the torrent of rain, the ear-splitting thunderclaps, the blaze of lightning, the roaring wind that sets the great forests in motion, the psalmist not only sees God's matchless power but hears God's voice.
For God made and orders them all.
Let the hosts of heaven sing his glory - and may God bless his people on earth
The style of this psalm, with its rhythmic repetition(重複節奏), is close to that of ancient Canaanite as well as early Hebrew poetry.
Why?
The glory and strength belong to the Lord, ascribe all honor to the Lord for his name is holy, his name is over all name above the earth.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness, so everyone comes to the Lord should be with holiness heart and mind.
The voice of the Lord is power, can do anything, we should fear the Lord and obey his word.
The sits enthroned over the flood, no matter what happened the Lord is the king forever. Even like the flood destroy anything on the earth, the Lord is sovereign Lord.
How?
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name, worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness. Fear the Lord is the wisdom.
