Psalm 89:29

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 89:29

"His seed also will I make to endure forever,And his throne as the days of heaven.If his children forsake my law,And walk not in mine ordinances;If they break my statutes,And keep not my commandments;Then will I visit their transgressions with the rod,And their iniquity with stripes.But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him,Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.My covenant will I not break,Nor alter the thing that has gone out of my lips.Once have I sworn by my holiness:I will not lie... read more

Psalms 89:27-29. Also I will make him my first-born, &c.— I will deal with him as with an eldest son, to whom a double portion of honour and possessions is due; and advance him to greater dignity than any other prince in the world. This, with what follows in the two next verses, can properly and strictly be applied only to Christ; the firstborn of every creatures the most eminent person that ever the world saw; and to whom all power was given in heaven and earth. Matthew 28:18. Colossians... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 89:1-52

Psalms 89The writer of this royal psalm was Ethan, another wise Levitical musician in David’s service (1 Kings 4:31; 1 Chronicles 15:17-18). The occasion of writing is unclear. Judging from the content of the psalm it appears to have been a time after David had suffered defeat and some severe affliction.Ethan interceded for the king, claiming the Davidic Covenant promises (cf. 2 Samuel 7:5-16; 1 Chronicles 17). Why was God afflicting David so severely since He had promised to bless him so... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 89:26-29

God promised that David would enjoy a special relationship of intimacy with Yahweh, who would treat him as His firstborn son (2 Samuel 7:14). This involved double blessings and much authority under his Father. David would become the most highly exalted king on the earth. Moreover, God would bless him with a dynasty that would rule Israel forever (cf. 2 Samuel 7:12-13; 2 Samuel 7:16). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 89:1-52

We have here another national and historical Ps., written when the Jewish kingdom and its king had fallen very low before their enemies, contrasting the promises made to David with their seeming lack of fulfilment in the course of events, and appealing to God to vindicate His faithfulness. Psalms 89:1-4 are introductory, announcing the Psalmist’s purpose of praising God, and recalling the covenant made with David. The following vv. celebrate God’s glory among His heavenly hosts (Psalms 89:5-7),... read more

Psalms 89:15 In these words David speaks of the blessedness of the people that know the joyful sound. Although year by year the sound of the trumpet brightened the hearts of God's chosen people, yet there was one year in which that sound brought them exceeding joy. It was the year of jubilee when on the day of atonement, when all the solemn services of that day were over, there was brought to the suffering and to the poor great joy. At the sound of that trumpet every slave was set free. Yet the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 89:1-52

Psalms 89:1-52THE foundation of this psalm is the promise in 2 Samuel 7:1-29 which guaranteed the perpetuity of the Davidic kingdom. Many of the characteristic phrases of the prophecy recur here-e.g., the promises that the children of wickedness shall not afflict, and that the transgressions of David’s descendants should be followed by chastisement only, not by rejection. The contents of Nathan’s oracle are first given in brief in Psalms 89:3-4 -" like a text," as Hupfeld says-and again in... read more

Psalms 89:0 God’s Faithfulness: His Oath-bound Covenant with David 1. Jehovah’s faithfulness (Psalms 89:1-18 ) 2. His covenant with David (Psalms 89:19-37 ) 3. The ruin and desolation (Psalms 89:38-45 ) 4. How long, Lord? Remember! (Psalms 89:46-52 ) A Maschil of Ethan, a Merarite (1 Chronicles 6:44 ; 1 Chronicles 15:17 ). The greater part of this Psalm extols Jehovah’s lovingkindness and faithfulness and makes prominent the covenant with David. We must of course look beyond David and... read more
