Psalms 89:6

Verse 6

6. Who in the heaven This recognises orders of created beings in “heaven.” To say glorified saints are not included, is to deny that they are in “heaven.” See notes on Psalms 16:3; Psalms 73:25.

Sons of the mighty Hebrew, Sons of God. So in Psalms 29:1, “O ye mighty,” is O sons of God, an advance upon “who in heaven,” which included all orders whatsoever, while this designates angels, specially the higher order, archangels. These are created beings messengers of God doing his will. The supremacy of God over nature and all orders of being is pure theism.
