Psalms89:5

5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also , in the congregation of the saints .

i. e. The Inhabitants of Heaven, the Holy Angels, as Iob 15. 15. who clearly discern and constantly adore thy mercy and faithfulness; when men upon earth are filled with doubts and perplexities about it.

Understand, shall be praised, out of the foregoing clause; which supplements are most usual in Scripture, as hath been already shewed by divers instances.

Either first of thy Saints upon Earth in their publick Assemblies; who always acknowledge and celebrate thy truth, although they cannot always discern the footsteps of it. Or rather secondly, of the Angels of Heaven, of whom he speaks in the foregoing clause; who are oft called Saints or holy ones, as Deut. 33. 2. Iob 15. 15. Dan. 4. 13, 17. & 8. 13.

Marginal references: Psal. 19. 1.
