Psalms 89:5

“And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord, etc.] Which, by a prosopopceia, may be understood of the heavens literally, in the same sense as other inanimate creatures praise the Lord, (<19E803>Psalm 148:3,4), or mystically of the church, consisting of heaven born souls, and whose doctrines and ordinances are from heaven; or of the apostles, as Jerom, who had their ministry, mission, commission, and gifts, from thence; or rather of the angels, the inhabitants of heaven, who praise the Lord for his wonderful works of nature, providence, and grace, (<19E802>Psalm 148:2), particularly they admire and praise the wonderful work of redemption “that wonderful thing of thine” f1260, as the word…”

“And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord - That is, the inhabitants of heaven shall find new occasion for praise in the faithfulness evinced in carrying out the promise to David, and in the marvelous things which will occur under that promise, and in its accomplishment. If we suppose that this promise embraced the Messiah and his reign, then we shall see what new occasions the angels would find for praise - in the incarnation of the Redeemer, and in all that would be accomplished by him. Thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints - In the assembly of the holy ones; that is, the angels. In their songs of praise, this will be among the things which will fill them with joy.…”

“Heavens - The inhabitants of heaven. Faithfulness - Understand, shall be praised; which supplements are usual in scripture. Psalms 89:6”

“89:5-8 God is the absolute standard of faithfulness, commitment, and order. The angelic beings and the heavens testify to his constancy. 89:5 Praise for God’s greatness (see 8:1) comes from the inhabitants of heaven who witness his faithfulness.”

“heavens: Psa 19:1, Psa 50:6, Psa 97:6; Isa 44:23; Luk 2:10-15; Eph 3:10; Pe1 1:12; Rev 5:11-14, Rev 7:10-12 in the congregation: Psa 89:7; Deu 33:2; Dan 7:10; Th2 1:7; Heb 12:22, Heb 12:23; Jde 1:14, Jde 1:15; Rev 19:1-6 Psalms 89:6”

“At the close of the promises in Psa 89:4-5 the music is to become forte. And ויודוּ attaches itself to this jubilant Sela. In Psa 89:6-19 there follows a hymnic description of the exalted majesty of God, more especially of His omnipotence and faithfulness, because the value of the promise is measured by the character of the person who promises. The God of the promise is He who is praised by the heavens and the holy ones above. His way of acting is פלא, of a transcendent, paradoxical, wondrous order, and as such the heavens praise it; it is praised (יודו, according to Ges. 137, 3) in the assembly of the holy ones, i.e., of the spirits in the other world, the angels (as in Job 5:1; Job 15:15,…”
