Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 89:19-37

19-37 The Lord anointed David with the holy oil, not only as an emblem of the graces and gifts he received, but as a type of Christ, the King Priest, and Prophet, anointed with the Holy Ghost without measure. David after his anointing, was persecuted, but none could gain advantage against him. Yet all this was a faint shadow of the Redeemer's sufferings, deliverance, glory, and authority, in whom alone these predictions and promises are fully brought to pass. He is the mighty God. This is the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 89:19-37

The Rule of the Messiah v. 19. Then Thou spakest in vision to Thy holy one, to His saint and servant, namely, the prophet Nathan, who acted as God's representative in dealing with David, 2 Samuel 7, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty, upon a great champion; I have exalted one chosen out of the people, the immediate reference being to David, the son of Jesse, but the implied reference to David's Son and David's Lord, the Messiah. It is a distinguishing mark of prophecy often... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 89:19-37

the Covenant with David Psalms 89:19-37 In this section the psalmist draws put, in detail, the fundamental prophecy by Nathan already mentioned; first, in the promises given to David, Psalms 89:19-27 ; and second, in those relating to his descendants, Psalms 89:28-37 . David’s origin was very humble. His dignity and power were all of God. But our Father never sets a man in any position and fails to supply the gifts needed for it. When He chooses, He anoints, strengthens, and protects.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 89:1-52

Taken as a whole, this song is one of the finest in the collection as a revelation of how the man of faith is compelled to view circumstances of calamity. In a poem of great beauty he first sets forth the praises of God (vv. Psa 89:1-37 ). Then he surveys the present condition of His people, and so creates a contrast (vv. Psa 89:38-52 ). No present defeat can dim the glory of past history as it reveals the facts of Divine majesty. Yet these past facts and confidences may be the reason of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 89:1-52

LXXXIX. The Covenant with David.— The Ps. may be divided thus: Psalms 89:1-Job :. The promise made to David (2 Samuel 7). Yahweh is all-powerful, so that He can, faithful so that He will, fulfil His word. Psalms 89:19-Haggai :. The promise considered at greater length. Observe the sobriety of tone. It is David’ s dynasty, not David himself, which is to endure for ever, and the kingdom promised is not world-wide but limited to the old boundaries, viz. the Euphrates and the Egyptian frontier.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 89:20

I have found: this is spoken of God figuratively after the manner of men, to imply the great scarcity of such persons, and the difficulty of finding them out. With my holy oil; both. with material oil, 1 Samuel 16:13; 2 Samuel 5:3, and with the gifts and graces of my Holy Spirit, which are oft signified by oil or unction, as Psalms 45:7, compared with Hebrews 1:9; Isaiah 61:3; 1 John 2:20,1 John 2:27. read more

Not exact upon him; not conquer him, or make him tributary. Or, shall not deceive or circumvent him, as this word is used, Genesis 3:13; 2 Kings 18:29. Afflict him, to wit, so as to overthrow or destroy him. read more
