Psalm 89 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

The glory and perfection of God.

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. (Ps 89:15-18)
