The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 29:11

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The Lord will give strength unto his people. The Lord, who shows his strength in the thunderstorm, will be able, and assuredly will be willing, to "give strength to his people"—to impart to them some of that power and might which he so abundantly possesses. Then they, partaking in his strength, need not fear the attacks of any adversaries. Struggle and contention will, by his good providence, be one day brought to an end; and ultimately the Lord will bless his people with peace—will give them the "rest which remaineth to the people of God" (), the perfect peace which "passeth all understanding" ().
