2 I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
2 For I said, "Steadfast love will be built up forever; in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness."
2 I'll never quit telling the story of your love - how you built the cosmos and guaranteed everything in it. Your love has always been our lives' foundation, your fidelity has been the roof over our world.
2 For I have said, "Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens."
2 Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 89:2
Commentary on Psalm 89:1-4
(Read Psalm 89:1-4)
Though our expectations may be disappointed, yet God's promises are established in the heavens, in his eternal counsels; they are out of the reach of opposers in hell and earth. And faith in the boundless mercy and everlasting truth of God, may bring comfort even in the deepest trials.
