Psalm 89
This is quite a long Psalm, at 52 verses.
It is a Maskil or Ethan the Ezrahite - whatever that means and whoever he was!
I will sing of the Lord's great love for ever:
There was a song we used to sing at church many, many years ago which was at least in part inspired by this psalm.
In the Bible, God promised to David that he would never fail to have a descendant on the throne, if his descendants would follow the commands of God.
Reading the story of David, his life was full of turmoil, and politically he was probably not that strong, yet his faith made him strong in God - the strength of God in this Psalm.
In the middle of the Psalm they recall that David's descendants did not keep the law and God renounced his promise.
Yet as a Christian I believe the the Lord Jesus is sitting on the throne in heaven - as a descendant of David.
