Clarke's Psalms 89:29 Bible Commentary
His seed also will I make to endure for ever - This ean apply only to the spiritual David. The posterity of David are long since extinct, or so blended with the remaining Jews as to be utterly indiscernible; but Jesus ever liveth, and his seed (Christians) are spread, and are spreading over all nations; and his throne is eternal. As to his manhood, he is of the house and lineage of David; the government is upon his shoulders, and of its increase there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and on his kingdom to order it and to establish it with judgment and justice, from henceforth even for ever. Isaiah 9:7.
Barnes's Psalms 89:29 Bible Commentary
His seed also will I make to endure for ever - That is, His posterity shall occupy the throne:
(a) this would have been true of his descendants, if they had been faithful to God, and had not revolted from him;
(b) it is true of him who is the successor of David in his spiritual kingdom, the Lord Jesus, the Messiah. Compare the notes at Isaiah 9:6-7.
And his throne as the days of heaven - As long as the heavens endure; that is, to the end of the world. Compare Psalm 72:5, note; Psalm 72:7, note; Psalm 72:17, note.
Wesley's Psalms 89:29 Bible Commentary
89:29 For ever - To sit upon the throne for ever, as the next words explain it. This was accomplished only in Christ.
