Contextual Overview
1 A Psalm of David. Give to Jehovah, sons of mighty ones; give to Jehovah glory and strength. 2 Give to Jehovah the glory of His name; worship Jehovah in the majesty of holiness. 3 The voice of Jehovah is on the waters; the God of glory thunders; Jehovah is above many waters. 4 The voice of Jehovah is in power; the voice of Jehovah in majesty. 5 The voice of Jehovah breaks the cedars; yea, Jehovah breaks Lebanon's cedars. 6 He also makes them skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox. 7 The voice of Jehovah is cutting through the flame of fire. 8 The voice of Jehovah shakes the wilderness; Jehovah shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of Jehovah causes the does to calve; and He uncovers the forests. And in His temple it all is saying, Glory! 10 Jehovah sits upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sits as King forever.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
He maketh them also to skip like a calf,.... That is, the cedars, the branches being broken off, or they torn up by the roots, and tossed about by the wind; which motion is compared to that of a calf that leaps and skips about;
Lebanon and Sirion, like a young unicorn; that is, these mountains move and skip about through the force of thunder, and the violence of an earthquake attending it; so historians report that mountains have moved from place to place, and they have met and dashed against one another d. Sirion was a mountain in Judea near to Lebanon, and is the same with Hermon; which was called by the Sidonians Sirion, and by the Amorites Shenir, Deuteronomy 3:9. This may regard the inward motions of the mind, produced by the Gospel of Christ under a divine influence; see
Isaiah 35:6.
d Plin. Nat. Hist. l. 2. c. 83. Joseph. Antiqu. l. 9. c. 11.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
He maketh them also to skip like a calf - That is, the cedars of Lebanon. Compare Psalms 114:4, “The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.” Psalms 68:16, “why leap ye, ye high hills?” The meaning is plain. The lightning tore off the large branches, and uprooted the loftiest trees, so that they seemed to play and dance like calves in their gambols. Nothing could be more strikingly descriptive of “power.”
Lebanon and Sirion - Sirion was the name by which Mount Hermon was known among the Sidonians: Deuteronomy 3:9, “Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion.” It is a part of the great range of Anti-libanus.
Like a young unicorn - On the meaning of the word used here, see the notes at Psalms 22:21. The illustration would be the same if any young wild animal were referred to.
