He expostulates, prays, and blesses God. But You have spurned The phrase "But You have spurned" introduces a dramatic shift in the tone of Psalm 89. The Hebrew root for "spurned" is "zanach," which conveys a sense of rejection or casting away. This word is often used in the Old Testament to describe God's response to Israel's unfaithfulness. Historically, this reflects moments when Israel faced divine displeasure due to their disobedience. Theologically, it serves as a reminder of the seriousness of turning away from God's covenant, emphasizing the need for repentance and faithfulness. and rejected You have been enraged with Your anointed one The boldness of this expostulation has scandalised the Jewish expositors. But see exactly similar language, Psalm 44:9; Psalm 44:22. The point of the poem, indeed, is gone if we soften down these expressions. The stronger the conviction of the inviolability of God's promises, the more vehement becomes the sense of right to expostulate at their seeming violation, the delay of the fulfilment of the covenant. We may illustrate by the Latin poet's "Hic pietatis honos, sic nos in sceptra reponis?" VIRGIL: 'n. 1:25. Verses 38-45. - A sudden and complete change here sets in. Rejoicing is turned into mourning, eulogy into complaint. Notwithstanding all the promises of God, notwithstanding his inherent and essential "faithfulness," the Davidical king and his kingdom are at the last gasp. Seemingly, every promise made has been broken, every hope held out of good turned into an actuality of evil. God is wroth with his anointed, has made void the covenant with him, profaned his crown and cast it to the ground, turned the edge of his sword, and made him not to stand in the battle; he has laid his land open to the enemy, broken down its defenses, brought its strongholds to ruin, given it as a spoil to all who pass by; he has set up the right hand of Israel's adversaries, caused them to rejoice and triumph in Israel's disgrace and suffering; he has covered the king with shame, and cut short the days of his youth. How is this? And what is to be the end of it? Verse 38. - But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. The first "thou" is emphatic - אתּה, THOU, "the faithful Witness;" THOU, who hast made all these promises, art the very One who has falsified them all - who hast "been wroth with thine anointed," abhorred (or rejected) him, and cast him off:Parallel Commentaries ...
