Psalm 29

Psalm 29:4
The voice of the LORD is powerful,
The voice of the LORD is majestic.
Let's see, how can you describe God?  Lots of ways.  You can talk about His qualities, His power, His omniscience, His purity.  Anything that is good, you can multiple to infinity to describe God.  But how do you describe just His voice?

In this verse there are two descriptors used.  The first is power.  His voice alone can break mountains, cause earthquakes, and bring the world to heel.  Much of the rest of the chapter describes its power.  But it's also majestic.  Is it fitting for majesty, for a ruler.  It has its own beauty, its own dignity.  I don't really know what that means, besides that it is amazing to behold.
