The Lord Will

Psalm 89:27

β€œAlso I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 89

Meaning

Firstborn language marks rank and privilege in the covenant order, not necessarily biological birth sequence.

The Davidic king and covenant promise

God's election, strengthening, father-son language, and enduring covenant with David are rehearsed.

Read carefully

The verse speaks of appointed royal status among kings.

Reflection

Read titles according to their literary and covenant function rather than woodenly.
