Psalms 89:33-37
loyal love <02617> [Nevertheless.]
remove <06331> [not utterly take. Heb. not make void.]
unfaithful <08266> [fail. Heb. lie.]
covenant <01285> [covenant.]
go back <08138> [nor.]
Once <0259> [Once.]
deceive <03576> [that I will not lie. Heb. If I lie.]
dynasty <02233> [seed.]
throne <03678> [and.]
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.]
endure <0539> [and as.]
