Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 29:3

3. The voyce of the LORD is upon the waters : the God of glory thundreth, the LORD is upon many waters .

(i. e.) Thunder, as is manifest from the next Clause, and the following Effects: which is oft called the Lords voyce, as Exod. 9. 23. 28, 29. Iob. 37. 21. 4, 5. Psal. 18. 14. and 46.

Either, 1. Upon the Seas; where its noise spreads, far and wide, and is very Terrible. But the following Verses speak of the Effects of it, upon the Earth only. Or rather, 2▪ Above in the Clouds, which are called Waters, Gen. 1. 7. Psal. 18. 11. because they are of a watry Substance. And this Circumstance is Considerable here, to magnifie the Divine power, which displayeth it self in those high places, which are far above the reach of all Earthly Potentates, and from whence he can easily and unavoidably smite all that dwell upon the Earth, and will not submit to him.

(i. e.) Upon the Clouds, in which there are vast Treasures of water, and upon which God is said to sit, or Ride, Psal. 18. 10, 11. and 104. 3.
