<03027> [his hand.]

That is, his power or authority, as hand frequently signifies: for the accomplishment of these promises, see the parallel texts.

89:36

dynasty <02233> [seed.]

throne <03678> [and.]

89:37

remain <03559> [It shall.]

That is, as long as the sun and moon shall endure, as long as time shall last, his kingdom shall continue among men. The moon is probably termed a faithful witness, because by her, particularly, time is measured. Her decrease and increase are especially observed by every nation; and by these time is generally estimated, especially among eastern nations:--So many moons is a man old--so many moons since such an event happened; and even their years are reckoned by lunations. Or, the rainbow may be intended; that faithful sign which God has established in the clouds, that the earth shall no more be destroyed by water.

stable <05769> [ever.]
