Context of Psalms 89:5

3The Lord said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have made a promise on oath to David, my servant: 4‘I will give you an eternal dynasty and establish your throne throughout future generations.’” (Selah) O Lord, the heavens praise your amazing deeds, as well as your faithfulness in the angelic assembly. 6For who in the skies can compare to the Lord? Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings, 7a God who is honored in the great angelic assembly, and more awesome than all who surround him?
