Scofield's Reference Notes - Psalms 89:27

higher than the kings of the earth The eighty-ninth Psalm is at once the confirmation and exposition of the Davidic Covenant 2 Samuel 7:9-14.

"Higher than the kings of the earth" can only refer to Immanuel. ; Isaiah 7:13-15; Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 9:7; Micah 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... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 89:1-52

The time of this ode is gathered from the text; it was written after Rahab, the proud Egyptian kingdom, Psalms 87:4, was broken to pieces, Psalms 89:10; and after the hedge, the wall of Jerusalem, was taken away; and after the crown of David’s house was cast down to the ground: Psalms 89:38-45. Therefore it is a pensive ode, sung in Babylon when all the Hebrew hopes rested on the Messiah, the true David, and shepherd of Israel, as in Ezekiel 34:0. The Chaldee paraphrase, like the doctors of the... read more

Psalms 89:1-52I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever.A majestic songThis psalm is one of the very choicest songs in the night. Midst a stream of troubled thoughts there stands a fair island of rescue and redemption, which supplies standing-room for wonder and worship; while the music of the words, like the murmuring of a river, sounds sweetly in our ears. The writer was bearing bitter reproach, and was almost broken-hearted by the grievous calamities of his nation. Yet his faith was... read more

Psalms 89:36As the sun The sun as an emblem of GodThe sun has always been an object so full of mystery and amazing quality that in a large part of history it was worshipped as a deity, and it is destined in all the remainder of history to be the greatest emblem of God.It leaves behind it the seven wonders of the old earth and any seven wonders of the new, and makes of itself alone the one matchless object of all physical things and forms. It deals only in the great. Vast in all particulars, it... read more

Psalms 89:37It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven.The character of the Church of Christ upon earth as symbolized by the moon in our solar systemIn the history of the creation it is written (Genesis 1:14). How the sun and the moon in our solar system come to be “for seasons and for days and years,” the astronomer is able to inform us; but why, and of what they were intended to be the signs, revelation alone can explain. Accordingly, if we look into the... read more

Psalms 89:47-48Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast Thou made all men in vain? The sense of life’s brevityI. That it is a right feeling, because it accords with fact. Human life is short, if you consider--1. That an end must come to it here.2. Its re-beginning after its earthly close. It is short in view of the new life. What is it to eternity? Nothing.II. That it argues the underlying sentiment of immortality. A man could have no feeling of the length or brevity of time, with all its... read more
