Psalms 89:39 - Exposition

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant ; or, "abhorred" (Cheyne, Revised Version). The verb is a very unusual one, occurring only here and in Lamentations 2:7 . Thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground (comp. Psalms 74:7 ). The theocratic crown was so holy a thing, that any degradation of it might be regarded as a "profanation."
