That Psalm 29 is a hymn of victory comparable to Exodus 15:1-18 and Judges 5 has become reasonably well-established through the scholarly search for the religious background to the psalm. The idea of victory is further seen in the geography of the Psalm. Verses 3-9 narrate the journey of a storm from the Mediterranean, across Lebanon and Syria and down to Kadesh in the south. The storm passes over Israel and this deliverance causes praise to YHWH in the Jerusalem Temple. The storm, which is the ‘voice of YHWH’, may represent an agent of divine judgment from which the nation is saved.
