This article is based on the first two verses of Psalm 89, written by Ethan. Although the Bible speaks to us about different Ethans in the Old Testament, we know that the Ethan that is being talked about here is the same as that spoken in 1 Kings 4:31. He was famous for his wisdom, though obviously overshadowed by king Solomon, which means that Ethan was possibly a Solomon and was alive in David’s reign.
Psalm 89 is another Psalm where the name of God is glorified and commanded to glorify through Ethan, and we repeat again the same as we have said in all our articles: “Every writing of the Bible is to glorify and exalt the name of God”.
The psalmist said:
1 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
Psalm 89:1-2
