When God Covenants
This psalm starts off as a psalm of praise & ends off as a psalm of lament. The Psalmist rejoices over God’s covenant with David, v3-4 and sorrows over how the later generations did not remain faithful to God, v39.
Still, in the face of unfaithfulness, God affirms that He keeps His covenant and will establish the throne of David, v33-37. This fulfilment is found in Christ, who is the King of kings. “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11
Application:
God fulfilled this promise to His people over time and generations. Trust in Him. He may take awhile sometimes, but if you are patient, you will see the wonderful work that He will do!
