17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
17 For you are their glory and strength, and by your favor you exalt our horn.
17 For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted.
17 Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us - you've been so good to us! We're walking on air!
17 For You are the glory of their strength, And in Your favor our horn is exalted.
17 You are their glorious strength. It pleases you to make us strong.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 89:17
Commentary on Psalm 89:15-18
(Read Psalm 89:15-18)
Happy are those who so know the joyful sound of the gospel as to obey it; who experience its power upon their hearts, and bring forth the fruit of it in their lives. Though believers are nothing in themselves, yet having all in Christ Jesus, they may rejoice in his name. May the Lord enable us to do so. The joy of the Lord is the strength of his people; whereas unbelief dispirits ourselves and discourages others. Though it steals upon us under a semblance of humility, yet it is the very essence of pride. Christ is the Holy One of Israel; and in him was that peculiar people more blessed than in any other blessing.
