Context of Psalms 89:39
37It shall be established forever like the moon, And the witness in the sky is faithful.” Selah. 38But You have cast off and rejected, You have been full of wrath against Your anointed. You have spurned the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown in the dust. 40You have broken down all his walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin. 41All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a reproach to his neighbors.
