Your faithfulness as well—
God's faithfulness is a central theme throughout Scripture, highlighting His reliability and steadfastness in keeping His promises. In the context ofPsalm 89, this faithfulness is particularly related to the covenant made with David, promising an everlasting dynasty (2 Samuel 7:12-16). The faithfulness of God is not only a comfort to believers but also a testament to His unchanging nature (Malachi 3:6). This attribute of God is celebrated throughout the Psalms and is a source of hope and assurance for His people (Lamentations 3:22-23).

in the assembly of the holy ones.
The "assembly of the holy ones" refers to a gathering of God's faithful, often interpreted as the heavenly host or angels. This assembly is depicted in various parts of Scripture as a council or gathering in the divine realm (Job 1:6,Daniel 7:10). The holy ones, or saints, can also refer to God's people on earth who are set apart for His purposes. In a broader sense, this assembly represents the community of believers, both celestial and terrestrial, who join in worship and acknowledgment of God's greatness. This phrase underscores the communal aspect of worship and the recognition of God's attributes by all His creation, both seen and unseen.

-Psalm 19:1 echoes this truth: “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” Creation itself is an ongoing testimony, a vast choir lifting up God’s greatness.

- When day turns to night and galaxies shine, they silently proclaim the same messageRevelation 4:11 affirms: “Worthy are You, our Lord and God…”

- The verse reminds us that God’s “wonders” are not abstract; they include every star in place (Isaiah 40:26) and every act of providence (Job 38–39).

- The covenant name “LORD” (YHWH) points to the God who revealed Himself personally to Moses (Exodus 3:14) and keeps covenant love with His people (Deuteronomy 7:9).

- The praise of the heavens rises to the One who is both Creator (Genesis 1:1) and Redeemer (Isaiah 43:1).

- This personal address assures us we’re not dealing with an impersonal force; we are addressing the faithful God who hears (Psalm 34:4–6).

- Scripture never separates God’s power from His character.Lamentations 3:22-23 proclaims, “Great is Your faithfulness,” the same faithfulness celebrated here.

-Hebrews 10:23 tells believers to “hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” Creation’s chorus underlines that God’s promises are as sure as the stars He upholds.

- Every fulfilled promise—from Noah’s rainbow (Genesis 9:13-16) to Christ’s resurrection (Acts 2:32)—proves that His wonders are matched by unwavering reliability.

- “Holy ones” points first to the angelic host (Job 38:7;Luke 2:13-14) who surround God’s throne, continually declaring His glory (Isaiah 6:1-3).

- YetHebrews 12:22-24 widens the lens to include redeemed believers: “You have come to Mount Zion… the city of the living God… thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly.”

- The verse unites heaven and earth in worship. Angels and saints share the same anthem, echoingRevelation 5:11-13 where every creature joins the chorus.

Psalm 89:5 paints a sweeping panorama: all creation, angelic beings, and redeemed people together lift up God’s unmatched wonders and steadfast faithfulness. The galaxies overhead and the company around His throne supply a resounding witness that the covenant-keeping LORD is eternally worthy of praise—and His promises to us are as certain as the skies above.

Shall praise.--The present tense would be better.

Wonders.--In the original the word is singular, perhaps as summing up all the covenant faithfulness as one great display of wonder.

Saints.--Here, apparently, not spoken of Israel, but of the hosts above. (See next verse; comp.Job 4:18;Job 15:15 for the same term, "holy ones," for angels.) . . .
