339. Internal Meaning of Psalm 89

1-2 All Divine truth is from the Lord (13, 10)

3-5 The Divine truth is from Him because there is oneness with the Divine Human (10, 16, 16)

6-9, 13 Thus the Lord has all power (10, 16)

10-14 All of heaven and the church is from Him, (10, 16)

15-18 Happy is he who trusts in the Lord (12, 16)

19-25 The Father to the Lord, or His Divine to His Human that by oneness with Him He has omnipotence over the hells (10, 16)

26-29 N. B. There will be eternal oneness with Him (10, 16)

30-37 Even if those of the church should fail there will be eternal oneness with Him. (10)

38-42 Of the Jewish nation: It has destroyed conjunction with Him, because it has destroyed the church. (4)

43-45 It has utterly repudiated Him. (4)

46-48 Prayer to the Father, that, unless He assist, no one will have eternal life. (13)

49 Unless oneness be effected, (10)

49-51 the hells will otherwise prevail. (10, 8)

52 He assists. (10, 8)
