“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.”
Psalm 89 opens with affirmation of God's covenant faithfulness: "I will sing of your steadfast love, O LORD, forever; with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations." The commitment to perpetual proclamation of God's hesed (steadfast love) and emunah (faithfulness) establishes the psalm's theological core. Yet the tension between the opening affirmation and the later lament (v. 38 onwards) will problematize this easy celebration.
