The "arm" of God is a symbol of His ability to act powerfully in the world. In the context of ancient Near Eastern culture, the arm was a common metaphor for strength and might. This imagery is consistent with other biblical passages, such as <a href="/exodus/15-16.htm">Exodus 15:16</a>, where God's arm is described as delivering Israel from Egypt. The might of God's arm signifies His sovereignty and control over creation and history.<p><b>strong is Your hand.</b><br>The "hand" of God represents His active involvement and intervention in the affairs of humanity. In biblical terms, the hand is often associated with action and accomplishment. This phrase underscores God's capability to execute His will and fulfill His promises. The strength of God's hand is a reassurance to believers of His ability to protect and provide for them. This concept is echoed in <a href="/isaiah/41-10.htm">Isaiah 41:10</a>, where God promises to uphold His people with His righteous right hand, indicating both strength and righteousness.<p><b>Your right hand is exalted.</b><br>The "right hand" in biblical literature is a symbol of favor, authority, and power. It is often associated with the position of honor and strength. The exaltation of God's right hand signifies His supreme authority and the ultimate victory over His enemies. This imagery is also a type of Christ, who is seated at the right hand of the Father, as seen in <a href="/hebrews/1-3.htm">Hebrews 1:3</a>. The exaltation of God's right hand assures believers of His ultimate triumph and the establishment of His kingdom. This phrase connects to the messianic prophecy in <a href="/psalms/110.htm">Psalm 110:1</a>, where the Messiah is invited to sit at God's right hand, indicating a position of power and honor.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ethan_the_ezrahite.htm">Ethan the Ezrahite</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/89.htm">Psalm 89</a>, who is traditionally believed to be a wise man during the time of King Solomon. He is credited with writing this psalm, which is a contemplation on God's covenant with David and His faithfulness.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/d/davidic_covenant.htm">Davidic Covenant</a></b><br>The context of <a href="/bsb/psalms/89.htm">Psalm 89</a> revolves around God's covenant with David, promising that his descendants would rule Israel. This covenant is central to the themes of God's faithfulness and power.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation to whom the promises of God were given, and the primary audience of the psalm.
