Verses 1-11

Psalms 29:0

Psalms 29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

Psalms 29:6 Word Study on “the unicorns” Gesenius says the Hebrew word “unicorn” ( רְאֵם ) (H7214) probably refers the wild bull. Therefore, modern English versions often translated the word as “wild ox.” The Enhanced Strong says the Hebrew word is found 9 times in the Old Testament and is translated “unicorn” all 9 times in the KJV. This word is only found in Hebrew poetry.

Psalms 29:7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

Psalms 29:8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

Psalms 29:9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

Psalms 29:10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.

Psalms 29:11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
