Context Summary
Psalm 89:19–37 mostly speaks from God's perspective. He describes how He chose David to be Israel's king and strengthened him to defeat his foes. The Lord also made a covenant with David: a promise to give David an everlasting dynasty and a throne. These would eventually be fulfilled in the form of David's descendant, Jesus.

Chapter Summary
This psalm is not directly connected to other events in Scripture; it might be associated with the Babylonian captivity (2 Kings 24:10–16) or the Egyptian raid against Rehoboam (1 Kings 14:25–28). The psalmist begins by praising God for His loyal love. It applauds His covenant with David. However, this turns to grief over apparent defeats and humiliations. The psalm ends with a plea for the Lord to remember His promises and reverse Israel's fortunes.
