Context of Psalms 89:5

3The Lord said, “I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant. I have sworn this oath to him: 4‘I will establish your descendants as kings forever; they will sit on your throne from now until eternity.’” Interlude All heaven will praise your great wonders, Lord; myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness. 6For who in all of heaven can compare with the Lord? What mightiest angel is anything like the Lord? 7The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God. He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne.
