Psalm 89:28
“My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 89Meaning
The language intensifies the apparent contradiction later when the king seems rejected and the covenant profaned.
The Davidic king and covenant promise
God's election, strengthening, father-son language, and enduring covenant with David are rehearsed.
Read carefully
Psalm 89 itself places firm covenant language beside severe royal crisis.
Reflection
Remember the character and promises that gave rise to hope in the first place.
