The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.
David calls the mighty to give God glory not because He needs it, but because His terrible power displayed in nature strikes fear into the proud and invites the faithful to worship. Those highest in rank are hardest to bend, which is why he presses them three times to yield.

Commenting on Psalm 29:1-11
The Lord sitteth upon the flood. Flood follows tempest, but Jehovah is ready for the emergency. No deluge can undermine the foundation of his throne. He is calm and unmoved, however much the deep may roar and be troubled: his government rules the most unstable and boisterous of created things.
Mighty men are called to give glory three times over because they resist this duty, yet it is critical to God's kingdom that princes espouse it. They must acknowledge His dominion and give themselves to Him first, since their power comes from Him and must serve Him.
