Psalms 89:25

Compare all

23 I will beat down his foes before his face,
And plague those who hate him.

24 “But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,
And in My name his horn shall be exalted.

25 Also I will ^aset his hand over the sea,
And his right hand over the rivers.

26 He shall cry to Me, ‘You are ^amy Father,
My God, and ^bthe rock of my salvation.’

27 Also I will make him ^aMy firstborn,
^bThe highest of the kings of the earth.

28 ^aMy mercy I will keep for him forever,
And My covenant shall stand firm with him.

29 His seed also I will make to endure forever,
^aAnd his throne ^bas the days of heaven.

30 “If^a his sons ^bforsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,

31 If they¹ break My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,

Psalms 89:25

I will set his hand also in the sea ... - His dominion shall extend from the sea on the one hand to the rivers on the other. The sea here evidently refers to the Mediterranean; and the rivers to the great rivers on the east - the Tigris and Euphrates. These were the promised boundaries of the land. Genesis 15:18. David secured a conquest over all these territories, and united all under his scepter, thus securing the accomplishment of the promise made to Abraham. See the notes at Psalms 60:1-12.
