Psalms 89:27-29

89:27 I will appoint him to be my firstborn son,

the most exalted of the earth’s kings.

89:28 I will always extend my loyal love to him,

and my covenant with him is secure.

89:29 I will give him an eternal dynasty,

and make his throne as enduring as the skies above.


sn The firstborn son typically had special status and received special privileges.

tn Heb “forever I will keep for him my loyal love and will make my covenant secure for him.”

tn Heb “and I will set in place forever his offspring.”

tn Heb “and his throne like the days of the heavens.”
