Psalm 89 – When God’s Promise Feels Broken but Faith Still Stands

Psalm 89 is a psalm of paradox — a celebration of God’s eternal covenant and a lament over its apparent collapse. It begins with confidence: “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever…” But as the verses unfold, joy gives way to anguish. The promises to David seem broken, the throne cast down, the crown in the dust.

And yet, the psalmist keeps praying.

This psalm holds tension that feels deeply human — praising God for His unshakable word, while asking: “How long, Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever?” In this prayer, we’re reminded that faith doesn’t ignore pain. It brings it before God, honestly, and trusts that His covenant still stands — even when everything looks lost.

Let this psalm guide your prayer through confusion, remembrance, and hope.
