15 Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise, who shout on parade in the bright presence of God. 16 Delighted, they dance all day long; they know who you are, what you do - they can't keep it quiet! 17 Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us - you've been so good to us! We're walking on air! 18 All we are and have we owe to God, Holy God of Israel, our King!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 89:15-18
Commentary on Psalm 89:15-18
(Read Psalm 89:15-18)
Happy are those who so know the joyful sound of the gospel as to obey it; who experience its power upon their hearts, and bring forth the fruit of it in their lives. Though believers are nothing in themselves, yet having all in Christ Jesus, they may rejoice in his name. May the Lord enable us to do so. The joy of the Lord is the strength of his people; whereas unbelief dispirits ourselves and discourages others. Though it steals upon us under a semblance of humility, yet it is the very essence of pride. Christ is the Holy One of Israel; and in him was that peculiar people more blessed than in any other blessing.
