Yeah, this is clearly an example of of ancient peoples imagining what a supreme ruler of the universe (or rather... world) must be like. Later, after the Jews became influenced by the Hellenes, we begin to see a different character/personality emerge in the LORD... a bit more refined and civilized... less barbaric. By the time we get to Jesus, Hellenism had completely woven itself into Jewish culture, and the NT describes a God appropriate for that age.
It's basically like Breaking Bad in reverse.
