Psalm 89
1. The psalmist praises God for his covenant

15. For the care of his church

38. Then complaining of contrary events
46. He expostulates, prays, and blesses God.














(12) Tabor and Hermon.--Introduced not only as standing roughly for west and east, but for their prominence and importance in the landscape. (Comp. Hosea 5:1.)

Shall rejoice.--Better, sing for joy.

Verse 12. - The north and the south then hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy Name. As in ver. 11 "heaven and earth" stand for all creation, the whole of the material universe, so here the four points of the compass designate the same. Tabor and Herman undoubtedly represent the west and the east. They present themselves to the poet's mind as standing over against each other, one on this side, and the other on that side, of Jordan.
