Psalm 89:26
“He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 89Meaning
Father-son royal language expresses covenant relationship and dependence rather than divine identity of the human king.
The Davidic king and covenant promise
God's election, strengthening, father-son language, and enduring covenant with David are rehearsed.
Read carefully
He addresses God as Father, God, and saving rock, preserving distinction and dependence.
Reflection
Let positions of responsibility deepen dependence on God rather than self-exaltation.
