Psalms 89:35 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 89:35

33 ^aNevertheless My lovingkindness I will not¹ utterly take from him,
Nor¹ allow My faithfulness to fail.

34 My covenant I will not break,
Nor ^aalter the word that has gone out of My lips.

35 Once I have sworn ^aby My holiness;
I will not lie to David:

36 ^aHis seed shall endure forever,
And his throne ^bas the sun before Me;

37 It shall be established forever like the moon,
Even like the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah

38 But You have ^acast off and ^babhorred,
You have been furious with Your¹ anointed.

39 You have¹ renounced the covenant of Your servant;
^aYou have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

40 You have broken down all his hedges;
You have brought his¹ strongholds to ruin.

41 All who pass by the way ^aplunder him;
He is a reproach to his neighbors.

42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword,
And have not sustained him in the battle.

44 You have made his¹ glory cease,
And cast his throne down to the ground.

45 The days of his youth You have shortened;
You have covered him with shame. Selah

46 How long, Lord?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your wrath burn like fire?

47 Remember how short my time ^ais;
For what ^bfutility have You created all the children of men?
