Psalm 89:38

Perplexity About God's Promises

³⁷
“It shall be established forever like the moon,
And the witness in the heavens is ever faithful.” Selah. ³⁸ 
But [in apparent contradiction of all this] You [the faithful Lord] have cast off and rejected;
You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.
³⁹
You have spurned and repudiated the covenant with Your servant;
You have profaned his crown [by casting it] in the dust.
