5 The heavens praise your wonders, Lord, your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones.
5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
5 Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!
5 God! Let the cosmos praise your wonderful ways, the choir of holy angels sing anthems to your faithful ways!
5 And the heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.
5 All heaven will praise your great wonders, Lord ; myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness.
7 In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him.
7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
7 a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him?
7 The holy angels are in awe before him; he looms immense and august over everyone around him.
7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, And to be held in reverence by all those around Him.
7 The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God. He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne.
(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.
