[1] {higher than the kings of the earth}
The eighty-ninth Psalm is at once the confirmation and exposition of the
Davidic Covenant
# 2Sa 7:9-14
That the covenant itself looks far beyond David and Solomon is sure
from verse 27. "Higher than the kings of the earth" can only refer
to Immanuel.
# Isa 7:13-15 9:6,7 Mic 5:2
The Psalm is in four parts: (1) The covenant, though springing from the
lovingkindness of Jehovah, yet rests upon His oath (vs. 1-4). (2)
Jehovah is glorified for His power and goodness in connection with the
covenant (vs 5-18). (3) The response of Jehovah (vs. 19-37). This is in
two parts: (a), it confirms the covenant (vs 19-29), but (b), warns that
disobedience in the royal posterity of David will be punished with
chastening (vs. 30-32). Historically this chastening began in the
division of the Davidic kingdom
# 1Ki 11:26-36 12:16-20
and culminated in the captivities and that subordination of Israel to
the Gentiles which still continues. See "Gentiles, times of"
# Lu 21:24 Re 16:14
(4) The plea of the Remnant
# Isa 1:9 Ro 11:5
who urge the severity and long continuance of the chastening (vs 38-52).
See Psalm 102., next in order of the Messianic Psalms.
