Mazmur 89:8

89:8 O Lord, sovereign God! ¹ 

Who is strong like you, O Lord?

Your faithfulness surrounds you.

Daniel 4:13

4:13 While I was watching in my mind’s visions ²  on my bed,

a holy sentinel ³  came down from heaven.

[89:8]  ¹ tn Traditionally “God of hosts.” The title here pictures the Lord as enthroned in the midst of the angelic hosts of heaven.

[4:13]  ² tn Aram “the visions of my head.”

[4:13]  ³ tn Aram “a watcher and a holy one.” The expression is a hendiadys; so also in v. 23. This “watcher” is apparently an angel. The Greek OT (LXX) in fact has ἄγγελος (angelo", “angel”) here. Theodotion simply transliterates the Aramaic word (’ir). The term is sometimes rendered “sentinel” (NAB) or “messenger” (NIV, NLT).
