John Trapp on Psalms 29:5

Verſ. 5. The voice of the Lord breaketh the Cedars] i. e. The thunder; and thoſe things that either go before it, or follow it, as lightenings, thunderbolts, ſtorm, tempeſt, &c. breaking and turning up by the roots huge trees.

The Lord breaketh the Cedars of Lebanon] Which are the talleſt, thickeſt and moſt durable of any place, in the habitable World. What a ſhame is it then that our hard hearts break not, yeeld not, though thunder-ſtruck with the dreadfull menaces of Gods mouth? Corripimur ſed non corrigimur, &c. A fearfull caſe. Let the tall Cedars ſee to it. Nam per Cedros intellig it [non-Latin text not transcribed] quicquid eſt eximium in mundo; Where is that hammer of the Nations Nebuchadnezzar? that terrour of the World, Tamerlan, &c? Are they not broken in pieces as a Potters Veſſell?
