Context of Psalms 89:39
37It shall be established forever like the moon, And a witness in the sky is faithful.” Selah 38But You have rejected and refused, You have been full of wrath against Your anointed. You have repudiated 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 disgrace to his neighbors.
