This is the simplest way that I have found to play this 1592 Genevan melody on the guitar. A capo is not needed, but when placed at the 7th fret it does place the melody back into the Key of G Major as it is commonly found. • Please see https://psalms101.ca/ for more notation and tablature • PSALM 89 The psalm opens joyfully but turns to lament. It opens with confidence in God’s steadfast love and faithfulness (vv. 1– 37) and closes with doubts about God’s steadfast love and faithfulness (vv. 38– 51). • The issue at the heart of the psalm is the Davidic covenant. In 2 Sam. 7: 4– 17 (cf. 1 Chr. 17: 1– 15) God established a covenant with David in which He promised that the special relationship would pass on to David’s obedient sons. God’s language was bold; He promised that the covenant would last “forever” (2 Sam. 7: 13). But this promise was not without conditions upon the recipients. If they sinned, they would be punished (1 Kin. 8: 25; 2 Sam. 7: 14). David’s son Solomon began his slide into apostasy by admitting the religious cults of his foreign wives (1 Kin. 11). • The continuing disobedience of the Davidic kings resulted in the Babylonian exile and an end to that period of Israel’s monarchy in the sixth century B.C. But the substance of the promise was not canceled; Christ came to take the throne of David forever (Is. 9: 7; Luke 1: 32; 22: 30). • Reformation Trust Publishing.
