Skipping Like a Calf - Psalms 29:6

In Psalms chapter twenty-nine David said “The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD is upon many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yes, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon”, and in chapter twenty nine and verse six of Psalms David said, “He makes them also to skip like a calf”, where we read,

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

The verse begins, “He makes them also to skip like a calf;” David began with the words, “He makes them also” which means “He, Jehovah God, forces the cedars trees even so and also” “to skip like a calf” or “to dance, leap and jump about similar and in likeness to a young bull or steer”. David said Jehovah God forces the cedar trees to jump and dance around like a young bull or steer that is frisking round.

The verse continues, “Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.” David added the word, “Lebanon” or “whose name means whiteness or white mountain range which is on the northern border of Israel” “and Sirion” which means “and Sirion whose name means breastplate and was one of the names of Mount Hermon used by the Sidonians” “like a young unicorn” or “similar and in likeness to a youthful unicorn which is an Old Testament word for great aurochs or wild bulls which are now extinct”. David wrote how Jehovah God forces the mountains of “Lebanon and Sirion” to frisk about like young wild bulls.

When we meditate upon the words in this verse, we realize how Jehovah God has power and might over His creation. He easily forces mighty cedar trees to thrash about like skipping “calves”, and even the mountains upon which they are grown frisk about like young bulls. God created the universe, and there is nothing more powerful than He. He is great and mighty and yet, He desires to have an intimate personal relationship with every person through His Son Jesus. When we receive Jesus as our personal “Savior and Lord”, He will forgive our sins and grant us everlasting life. Jehovah God deserves praise, honor and glory not only for His greatness, but also for His willingness to provide salvation and relationship to everyone who surrenders to Him.

Next time David says, “The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
