Psalms
Chapter 89
6
The heavens praise your marvels, LORD, your loyalty in the assembly of the holy ones.
7
3 Who in the skies ranks with the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the gods?
8
A God dreaded in the council of the holy ones, greater and more awesome than all who sit there!
9
LORD, God of hosts, who is like you? Mighty LORD, your loyalty is always present.
10
You rule the raging sea; you still its swelling waves.

I am not interrested in the LDS understanding of assembly of holy ones. My interrest is in what scripture teaches and how the church and Judaism understood the heavenily council through the ages.

What have you all encountered during your studies of this?
 
I always understood the heavenly council to be the angels and archangels who have been given authority over certain people, nations, forces of nature, etc. Job talks about this too in it’s opening chapter when Satan comes before the heavenly council and talks about Job and why he is so loyal to God, and so on.
 
The Latin Vulgate, the “juridically authentic” Bible of the Roman Catholic Church (Cf.Vatican II, Consitution on Divine Revelation) gives us:
*
“The heavens shall confess thy wonders, O Lord, and thy truth in the church of the saints.”*

So, while ancient Jewish interpretations could see “assembly of the holy ones” as referring to the “heavenly host” of angels, for example, the traditional Catholic interpretation is to refer it to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church…
 
For some reason, I always thought the Latin Vulgate was new testament only. Is it Old Testament too?

And, since I started this tread from what I think is a catholic version…

Is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate OT online?
 
The Vg. is both OT & NT.
Online? I don’t know.

BTW - my wife and I certainly dated before we were married ❤️
but we didn’t “heavily court”… :rotfl:

I must keep reminding myself, there is no pleasure in pain, there is no pleasure in pain, there is no pleasure in pain…

ok, that one really left me speechless…
