Overview
Psa 89:1, The psalmist praises God for his covenant; Psa 89:5, for his wonderful power; Psa 89:15, for the care of his church; Psa 89:19, for his favour to the kingdom of David; Psa 89:38, Then complaining of contrary events, Psa 89:46, he expostulates, prays, and blesses God.
A Psalm for Ethan, the Ezrahite, to give instructions. This Psalm is generally supposed to have been written during the Babylonian captivity, when, the family of David being dethroned, and the royal family ruined, the Divine promises had apparently failed.

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.

Blessed: This verse ends the third book of the Psalter; and is thought to have been added by a later hand, as it is wanting in two manuscripts, in another written without points, and in three others written separately from the text; though it is found in all the versions.
