Psalms 89:11-13

89:11 The heavens belong to you, as does the earth.

You made the world and all it contains. ¹ 

89:12 You created the north and the south.

Tabor and Hermon ²  rejoice in your name.

89:13 Your arm is powerful,

your hand strong,

your right hand ³  victorious. ⁴ 

[89:11]  ¹ tn Heb “the world and its fullness, you established them.”

[89:12]  ² sn Tabor and Hermon were two of the most prominent mountains in Palestine.

[89:13]  ³ sn The Lord’s arm, hand, and right hand all symbolize his activities, especially his exploits in war.

[89:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “is lifted up.” The idiom “the right hand is lifted up” refers to victorious military deeds (see Pss 89:42; 118:16).
