Psalms 89:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 89:14

12 The north and the south, You have created them;
^aTabor and ^bHermon rejoice in Your name.

13 You have a mighty arm;
Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Mercy and truth go before Your face.

15 Blessed are the people who know the ^ajoyful sound!
They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.

16 In Your name they rejoice all day long,
And in Your righteousness they are exalted.

17 For You are the glory of their strength,
And in Your favor our¹ horn is ^aexalted.
