Notes

Psalms 89:15–16

Those who are wise worship God, walk in his light, rejoice in their relationship with him, and delight in his character.

Psalms 89:14–18

God rules wisely over creation. The qualities of righteousness, justice, and faithfulness fit the description of a wise ruler. The happy people who live under his rule enjoy his protection.

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).
