Psalms 89:38-39

Context

89:38 But you have spurned 1  and rejected him;

you are angry with your chosen king. 2 

89:39 You have repudiated 3  your covenant with your servant; 4 

you have thrown his crown to the ground. 5 

1 tn The Hebrew construction (conjunction + pronoun, followed by the verb) draws attention to the contrast between what follows and what precedes.

2 tn Heb “your anointed one.” The Hebrew phrase מְשִׁיחֶךָ (mÿshikhekha, “your anointed one”) refers here to the Davidic king (see Pss 2:2; 18:50; 20:6; 28:8; 84:9; 132:10, 17).

3 tn The Hebrew verb appears only here and in Lam 2:7.

4 tn Heb “the covenant of your servant.”

5 tn Heb “you dishonor [or “desecrate”] on the ground his crown.”
