Psalms 89:5-9
Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord,
your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!
For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord?
Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord,
a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones,
and awesome above all who are around him?
O Lord God of hosts,
who is mighty as you are, O Lord,
with your faithfulness all around you?
You rule the raging of the sea;
when its waves rise, you still them.

In the beginning of these three Psalms, note one of the opening verses:
Psalms 87:3
Glorious things of you are spoken,
O city of God. Selah
“Glorious” things will be spoken. The writer is referring to Jerusalem in that verse, but what made Jerusalem glorious? The presence of God in the midst of His people. Notice what is stated in an earlier Psalm:
Psalms 86:9
All the nations you have made shall come
and worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
In the above verses we see why glorious things are said about God and why ALL nations will, in time, worship before Him: God is deserving of the glory we give Him. Is there anything to hard for our God? Note this line in the above passage:
“Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord,
a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, ...”.
Who? We have much to fear in this life. We have many failures to overcome, disappointments to conquer and steep mountains to climb. But, the ONE thing we can rest assured of is that, in the midst of whatever battle we are in, believers have the God of Gods on their side. He is worthy to be praised. Glorious things are spoken of Him!!! Who is like our God?
