Psalms 89 · Grade 4

When a Promise Seems Broken

Name Date

Read and Think

The title of Psalm 89 calls it a contemplation by Ethan, the Ezrahite. The psalm ends Book III of the Psalms. It begins with praise. I will sing of the loving kindness of Yahweh forever. Ethan praises God as the Creator who rules the sea, made the north and the south, and has a mighty arm. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne.

At the heart of the psalm is God's covenant with David. I have found David, my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil. God promised that if David's children sinned, he would discipline them, but he says, I will not completely take my loving kindness from him. His throne would last like the sun and the moon.

Then the psalm turns. Ethan sees the king defeated, his crown in the dust and his throne thrown down. He cries, How long, Yahweh? Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David? Ethan does not hide his confusion, but he brings it to God. The psalm and Book III close with praise: Blessed be Yahweh forever more. Amen, and Amen.

Psalms 89 · Grade 5

Where Are Your Former Loving Kindnesses?

Name Date

Read and Think

The title of Psalm 89 names Ethan, the Ezrahite, as its writer, and the psalm closes Book III of the Psalter. Its first half is a hymn. I will sing of the loving kindness of Yahweh forever. Ethan praises God's faithfulness in the heavens and his power over the sea. You have broken Rahab in pieces, a poetic name for the forces of chaos. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.

The second section retells the covenant with David from 2 Samuel 7. God promises, I will establish your offspring forever. Even if his children forsake my law, God says, I will not break my covenant, nor alter what my lips have uttered. Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David. His throne would endure like the sun and the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.

The final section is a lament that seems to contradict everything before it. You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust. The king's line has been humbled, perhaps at the exile. Ethan asks, Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses? The tension is left open, yet the book closes with a doxology. Christians see the answer in Jesus, the Son of David, whose kingdom has no end (Luke 1:32-33).
