Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 29:9

9. The voyce of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve , and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

Through the Terror which it causeth, which hastens the Birth in these and other places: See 1 Sam. 4. 19▪ He nameth the Hinds, because they bring forth their young with Difficulty, Iob 39. 1, 2.

Heb. maketh bare, Either of its Trees, which it Either breaks or strips of their Leaves: Or, of the Beasts, which it forceth to run into their Dens.

Or, but▪ Having shewed the Terrible effects of God's power in other places, he now shews the Blessed priviledge of God's people, that are praising and glorifying God, and receiving the Comfortable influences of his Grace in his Temple, when the rest of the World are Trembling under the Tokens of his Displeasure. By which he secretly invites and perswades the Gentiles, for their own safety and Comfort, to own the true God, and to Worship him in his Sanctuary, as he did exhort them, v. 2. Or, therefore, (i. e.) Because of these and such like Discoveries, of Gods excellent Majesty and Power, h[illegible: 1+ letters] people fear and praise, and adore him in his Temple.
