Context of Psalms 89:5

3The Lord has said, ‘I have made a covenant with the king that I chose. I have made this strong promise to my servant David: 4“Someone from your family will always be king. They will rule for ever.” ’ Selah. Lord, everything in heaven praises you for the great things that you have done. Yes, your angels meet together to praise you, because you are always faithful. 6In all the heavens, there is no one like you, Lord! No angel in heaven is equal to you. 7When the angels meet together in heaven, they respect you with fear. All who meet round your throne in heaven respect you, as you deserve.
