Notes

Psalms 89:12

Mount Tabor was in northern Israel. Mount Hermon formed the extreme northern border of the nation.

Psalms 89:9–13

In this hymn, the psalmist celebrates God’s complete and powerful rule over nature.

Psalms 89:1–52

Book Three (Psalms 73–89) starts and ends with serious questions. Psalm 89 begins with praise for how the Lord established David’s throne and kingdom (89:1–37). But later the psalmist protests that the Lord seems to have rejected his covenant with David (Psalm 89:38–51; see 2 Samuel 7:8–16).
