Psalm 89:33
βNevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.β
KJV
Read in Psalm 89Meaning
This 'nevertheless' is crucial: discipline does not amount to covenant abandonment.
Discipline without covenant abandonment
Disobedient descendants may be disciplined, but God declares that his steadfast love and sworn covenant will not be annulled.
Read carefully
Verse 33 follows directly after explicit discipline for wrongdoing.
Reflection
Distinguish serious correction from the claim that God has ceased to be faithful.
