Psalms 89:13

Mighty is Your arm; strong is Your hand. Your right hand is exalted.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — The psalmist addresses God, positioning this declaration between a description of cosmic creation and a statement about the moral foundation of the divine throne.

The words — זְרוֹעַ (Zroa) translates literally as "arm," and תָּר֥וּם (tarum) means "it is exalted."

The thread — The assertion of divine power runs through Psalms 62:11, which states power belongs to God, and Psalms 89:10, which describes God scattering enemies with a mighty arm.

Why it lands — The text demands recognition that God's sovereign strength and elevated authority are the factual basis for trusting His justice and faithfulness.
