89. After tossing about on a sea of trouble the psalmist here leaps to shore and stands upon a rock. Jehovah’s word is not fickle or uncertain. In the former section David’s soul fainted, but here the good man looks out of self and perceives that the Lord fainteth not, neither is weary, neither is there any failure in his Word. When we are tired with gazing upon the shifting scene of this life, the thought of the immutable promise fills our mouth with singing. God’s purposes, promises, and precepts are all settled. Covenant settlements will not be removed, however unsettled people’s thoughts may become; let us therefore settle it in our minds that we abide in the faith of our Jehovah as long as we have any being.
