Psalm 89:37
“It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 89Meaning
Celestial imagery closes the covenant assurance with a picture of stable witness before the lament turns sharply.
Read carefully
Psalm 89 moves directly from this assurance into lament.
Reflection
Notice how scripture can state hope strongly and then give space to apparent contradiction.
