David does what he calls others to do - he ascribes glory to God. (ascribe: to credit or assign, as to a cause or source; attribute; impute) He calls the heavenly beings (maybe because of their unique perspective of watching the storm) to ascribe glory to God for His power. David sees holiness in the storm. David looks at a powerful thunderstorm (it seems to me) and gets caught up in worship to the God who is over the storm. To the thunder, he ascribes the glory of the voice of God. As he observes, he must see or imagine lightening striking a tree - causing a forest fire - stripping the forest bare. I don't understand 9 -- could it be the cause of the shock of the storm puts the deer into labor? (The NIV translates it: "his voice twists (or shakes) the oaks) One thing that really stands out to me in this Psalm is that David really was enamored with God. He thought about God during a storm. Pretty much this entire Psalm is all about God. David wasn't in relationship with God to use God. He doesn't bring fear, or crisis. He is just caught up with the glory of the majesty of God. I really like that.
