A church father on this verse
“"O Lord God of Hosts, who is like unto Thee? Thy truth, most mighty Lord, is on every side" [Psalm 89:8]. Great is Thy power Thou hast made Heaven and earth, and all things that in them are: but greater still is thy loving-kindness, which has shown forth Thy truth to all around Thee. For if Thou hadst been preached on…”

In context

6In the morning let it flower, and pass away: In the evening let it droop, let it be withered and dried up.

7For we have perished in thine anger, And in thy wrath we have been troubled.

— Psalms 89:8 —

9For all our days are gone, And we have passed away in thy wrath: Our years have spun out their tale as a spider.

10As for the days of our years, in them are seventy years; And if men should be in strength, eighty years: And the greater part of them would be labor and trouble; For weakness overtakes us, and we shall be chastened.
