Notes

Psalms 89:29

The Lord displays his faithfulness in the heavens, across his whole creation (see Psalm 89:2). In the same way, he confirms his commitment to the kings that would come from David's family.

Psalms 89:26–29

The Lord adopted David as his son, appointed him as his commander over the nations, and promised to support him forever. Verse 26 recalls a verse from David’s song of praise (2 Samuel 22:47).

Psalms 89:19–37

The Lord chose David as his son and king of Israel (see Psalm 2:4–6; 2 Samuel 7:8–16) to protect his people.

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).
