Psalm 89

“I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established yourbfaithfulness in heaven itself” (2). This psalm held firmly to God’s covenant faithfulness, which was demonstrated in the promise to make David’s line endure “forever”. God’s faithfulness is evident in the way He rules the universe, including over all creatures, seen and unseen (5-13). The psalmist, seeing the suffering of God’s people and temporary ruins instead of victory (38-49), held fast to God as the One who keeps His promises.

We can stake our lives on God’s love and faithfulness (14). All His promises are “yes” in Jesus Christ (II Cor 1:20), who rescued us and is bringing about good purposes in us.
