Notes

Psalms 89:38

You are enraged: The psalmist is confused by the severity of God's anger.

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).
