Psalm 89:24 KJV,ASV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 89:19-37

The covenant God made with David and his seed was mentioned before (Ps. 89:3, 4); but in these verses it is enlarged upon, and pleaded with God, for favour to the royal family, now almost sunk and ruined; yet certainly it looks at Christ, and has its accomplishment in him much more than in David; nay, some passages here are scarcely applicable at all to David, but must be understood of Christ only (who is therefore called David our king, Hos. 3:5), and very great and precious promises they are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 89:24

But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him ,.... The "faithfulness" of God was and is with Christ, in performing promises made to him respecting his work, and strength to do it, as man, and the glory that should follow; and also those made to his people in him, relating to grace here, and happiness hereafter: and though there was no "mercy" shown to Christ, as the surety of his people, but he was dealt with in strict justice; yet, as Mediator of the covenant, the special mercy of God... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 89:24

Verse 24 24My truth and my mercy shall be with him. God shows that he will continue to exercise without intermission that grace which he had manifested towards David at first. These words are as if he had said, that to prove himself faithful to his word, he would be always gracious and bountiful. Thus We see that God, not only at the outset, furnished David with testimonies of his goodness, but that he always continued to deal with him in the same merciful way. This has a reference to the whole... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 89:1-52

The general subject— God's promise to David and his seed but the present state of things is a bitter contrast to the promise, and a prayer that God would remove the contrast. Suggests— I. THAT GOD HAS ENTERED INTO A GRAND COVENANT WITH MANKIND . Given us the greatest and most precious promises. 1 . Promises that relate to our highest nature. "I will be a Father to them, and ye shall be my sons and daughters." 2 . That relate to our greatest calamity. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 89:5-37

The psalmist carries out the intention proclaimed in Psalms 89:1 , and proceeds to "sing of the mercies of the Lord" at great length. His song of praise divides into two portions. From Psalms 89:5 to Psalms 89:18 it is a general laudation of the Almighty for his greatness in heaven ( Psalms 89:5-7 ), in nature ( Psalms 89:9 , Psalms 89:11 , Psalms 89:12 ), and in the course of his rule on earth ( Psalms 89:10 , Psalms 89:13-18 ), after which it passes into a laudation of him... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 89:24-26

Psalms 89:24-26. My faithfulness and mercy shall be with him Faithfulness in making good all my promises to him; and mercy in doing more for him than I promised, and in pardoning his sins, for which I might justly make him to know my breach of promise. And in my name That is, by my favour and help; shall his horn be exalted He shall have both power and victory. I will set his hand also in the sea That is, I will extend his dominion, and establish his power over the countries... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 89:1-52

Psalms 89:0 Remember the covenant with DavidApparently Israel had suffered some military setback that threatened its existence. This caused some people to think that God had forsaken his anointed king. The psalmist therefore recalls the covenant promise God made to David to preserve his dynasty for ever, and on the basis of this he claims God’s help (1-4; see 2 Samuel 7:8-16).Before speaking further of the covenant, the psalmist praises God for his majesty and greatness. None among the... read more
