Psalms 89:5

Context

89:5 O Lord, the heavens 1  praise your amazing deeds,

as well as your faithfulness in the angelic assembly. 2 

Psalms 89:8

Context

89:8 O Lord, sovereign God! 3 

Who is strong like you, O Lord?

Your faithfulness surrounds you.

1 tn As the following context makes clear, the personified “heavens” here stand by metonymy for the angelic beings that surround God’s heavenly throne.

2 tn Heb “in the assembly of the holy ones.” The phrase “holy ones” sometimes refers to God’s people (Ps 34:9) or to their priestly leaders (2 Chr 35:3), but here it refers to God’s heavenly assembly and the angels that surround his throne (see vv. 6-7).

3 tn Traditionally “God of hosts.” The title here pictures the Lord as enthroned in the midst of the angelic hosts of heaven.
