5 In heaven let them give praise for your wonders, O Lord; and your unchanging faith among the saints. 6 For who is there in the heavens in comparison with the Lord? who is like the Lord among the sons of the gods? 7 God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are about him. 8 O Lord God of armies, who is strong like you, O Jah? and your unchanging faith is round about you. 9 You have rule over the sea in storm; when its waves are troubled, you make them calm. 10 Rahab was crushed by you like one wounded to death; with your strong arm you put to flight all your haters. 11 Yours are the heavens, and the earth is yours; you have made the world, and everything which is in it. 12 You have made the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon are sounding with joy at your name. 13 Yours is an arm of power; strong is your hand and high your right hand. 14 The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 89:5-14
Commentary on Psalm 89:5-14
(Read Psalm 89:5-14)
The more God's works are known, the more they are admired. And to praise the Lord, is to acknowledge him to be such a one that there is none like him. Surely then we should feel and express reverence when we worship God. But how little of this appears in our congregations, and how much cause have we to humble ourselves on this account! That almighty power which smote Egypt, will scatter the enemies of the church, while all who trust in God's mercy will rejoice in his name; for mercy and truth direct all he does. His counsels from eternity, and their consequences to eternity, are all justice and judgment.
