Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

89:7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the {h} saints, and to be had in reverence of all [them that are] about him.
(h) If the angels tremble before God's majesty and infinite justice, what earthly creature by oppressing the Church dares to set himself against God?

WES:

89:7 Feared - With a fear of reverence. Saints - The whole society of angels. All that - That encompass his throne.

MHC:

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.
