Psalm 29 recounts a powerful thunderstorm that David witnessed, which caused him to reflect on God's sovereignty and power over all of nature and the nations. The psalm repeats the phrase "the voice of the Lord" seven times to emphasize God's authority. It moves from calling angels to worship God, to describing how God's voice controls the waters, nations, deserts, and rules forever as King. The entire creation is called to cry out "Glory!" in response to God's mighty works and eternal reign.
