89:7 a God who is honored 5 in the great angelic assembly, 6

1 tn Heb “daughters of kings.”
2 tn Heb “valuable ones.” The form is feminine plural.
3 tn This rare Hebrew noun apparently refers to the king’s bride, who will soon be queen (see Neh 2:6). The Aramaic cognate is used of royal wives in Dan 5:2-3, 23.
4 tn Heb “a consort stands at your right hand, gold of Ophir.”
sn Gold from Ophir is also mentioned in Isa 13:12 and Job 28:16. The precise location of Ophir is uncertain; Arabia, India, East Africa, and South Africa have all been suggested as options.
5 tn Heb “feared.”
6 tn Heb “in the great assembly of the holy ones.”
7 tn Or perhaps “feared by.”
