Mazmur 89:2

89:2 For I say, “Loyal love is permanently established; ¹ 

in the skies you set up your faithfulness.” ² 

Mazmur 89:33

89:33 But I will not remove ³  my loyal love from him,

nor be unfaithful to my promise. ⁴ 

[89:2]  ¹ tn Heb “built.”

[89:2]  ² sn You set up your faithfulness. This may allude to the Lord’s heavenly throne, which symbolizes his just rule and from which the Lord decrees his unconditional promises (see vv. 8, 14).

[89:33]  ³ tn Heb “break”; “make ineffectual.” Some prefer to emend אָפִיר (’afir; the Hiphil of פָּרַר, parar, “to break”) to אָסִיר (’asir; the Hiphil of סוּר, sur, “to turn aside”), a verb that appears in 2 Sam 7:15.

[89:33]  ⁴ tn Heb “and I will not deal falsely with my faithfulness.”
