Notes

Psalms 89:5–8

God is the absolute standard of faithfulness, commitment, and order. The angelic beings and the heavens testify to his constancy.

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).
