Psalms 89:14

"You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted."

Key Reflection

These verses emphasize God's immense power and authority. By describing His arm as mighty, His hand as strong, and His right hand as exalted, the psalmist underscores both God’s sovereignty and the certainty of His triumph in all He does.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

justice and judgment are the habitation of the throne -Margin, “establishment.” The Hebrew word -מכוןmâkôn- means properly a place where one stands; then, a foundation or basis. The idea here is, that the throne of God is founded on justice and right judgment; it is this which supports it; his administration is maintained because it is right. This supposes that there is such a thing as right or justice in itself considered, or in the nature of things, and independently of the will of God; that the divine administration will be conformed to that, and will be firm because it is thus conformed to it.
