Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 29:1

1 GIve unto the LORD, O ye mighty , give unto the LORD b glory and strength .

Ye Potentates and Rulers of the Earth. To these he addresseth his Speech; Partly, because they are most apt to forget and contemn God, and insolently to assume a kind of Deity to themselves: and Partly, because their Conviction and Conversion was likely to have a great and powerful influence upon their people. By an humble and thankful acknowledgment of it: for other ways we can give nothing to God.

(i. e.) The glory of his strength or power, which is the Attribute set forth in this Psalm: Or, his glorious strength.
