Psalms 89:28

"I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth."

Key Reflection

This verse signifies that God designates his chosen leader as a figure of great honor and authority, elevating him above all earthly rulers. The "firstborn" status implies a position of primacy and divine favor, pointing forward to the kingship of Christ and His exalted place in both the natural and spiritual realms.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore -I will not withdraw my favor from him, nor from his posterity,Psalms 89:33-36. In him, and in his Great Descendant, the throne shall be established forever. This dominion will not be like the changing dynasties of this world, but will be perpetual and eternal. And my covenant shall stand fast with him -See2 Samuel 7:14-16;2 Samuel 23:5. It shall be firm, or established with him and his family.
