Psalms 29:1-2 (KJV)
A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
It appears that these verses speak of two actions on the part of the mighty:
To give.
To worship.
I think of that which the mighty might specifically have to give to the Lord, and it depends upon the sort of might which they possess.
- Financial.
- Leadership.
- Intellect.
- Skill.
- Talent.
- Personality.
- Strength.
Whatever their might, their gifts to the Lord must be “glory and strength,” which are due unto His name.
- What glory and strength might those with great wealth owe to the name of the Lord?
- What glory and strength might those in leadership owe to the name of the Lord?
- What glory and strength might those with great intellect owe to the name of the Lord?
- What glory and strength might those with great skill owe to the name of the Lord?
- What glory and strength might those who possess great talent owe to the name of the Lord?
- What glory and strength might those with strong personalities owe to the name of the Lord?
- What glory and strength might those of tremendous physical strength owe to the name of the Lord?
The mighty might be especially prone to claim that these things are their own or of their own doing. But they possess them by the grace of God. He is due it all—and more.
They are to worship Him, and to do so specifically “in the beauty of holiness.”
There is nothing more beautiful than to be absolutely separated from the world and given wholly and holily to God.
Worship is, above all, an absolute surrender of all to Him.

The Responsibility of Might: The Beauty of Holiness
Whatever Your Might, Are You Giving God the Glory?
Wealth, leadership, influence, intellect, talent, and strength are all gifts from God. But are you using what He has given you for His glory—or taking the credit yourself?
Psalms 29:1–2 reminds us that God deserves more than our abilities. He deserves our complete surrender.
I'd love to hear from you! What kind of “might” has God entrusted to you, and how can you use it to honor Him? Share your thoughts in the comments!
