Notes

Psalms 89:52

This doxology (a short praise to God) ends Book Three of the Psalms (Psalms 73–89). It was not meant to be read as part of Psalm 89. Its words of praise stand in strong contrast to the pain and questions expressed in Psalm 89. Compare Psalm 41:13; 106:48.

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).
