span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.89.1" class="versetxt"> Oratio Moysi, hominis Dei. [Domine, refugium factus es nobis
a generatione in generationem.
Priusquam montes fierent,
aut formaretur terra et orbis,
a s�culo et usque in s�culum tu es, Deus.
Ne avertas hominem in humilitatem:
et dixisti: Convertimini, filii hominum.
Quoniam mille anni ante oculos tuos
tamquam dies hesterna qu� pr�teriit:
et custodia in nocte qu� pro nihilo habentur,
eorum anni erunt.
Mane sicut herba transeat;
mane floreat, et transeat;
vespere decidat, induret, et arescat.
Quia defecimus in ira tua,
et in furore tuo turbati sumus.
Posuisti iniquitates nostras in conspectu tuo;
s�culum nostrum in illuminatione vultus tui.
Quoniam omnes dies nostri defecerunt,
et in ira tua defecimus.
Anni nostri sicut aranea meditabuntur;
dies annorum nostrorum in ipsis septuaginta anni.
Si autem in potentatibus octoginta anni,
et amplius eorum labor et dolor;
quoniam supervenit mansuetudo, et corripiemur.
Quis novit potestatem ir� tu�,
et pr� timore tuo iram tuam dinumerare?
Dexteram tuam sic notam fac,
et eruditos corde in sapientia.
Convertere, Domine; usquequo?
et deprecabilis esto super servos tuos.
Repleti sumus mane misericordia tua;
et exsultavimus, et delectati sumus omnibus diebus nostris.
L�tati sumus pro diebus quibus nos humiliasti;
annis quibus vidimus mala.
Respice in servos tuos et in opera tua,
et dirige filios eorum.
Et sit splendor Domini Dei nostri super nos,
et opera manuum nostrarum dirige super nos,
et opus manuum nostrarum dirige.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Also I will make him my firstborn,.... Or, "make him the firstborn"; make him great, as Jarchi interprets it; give him the blessing, the double portion of inheritance: so Christ is made most blessed for ever, and has all spiritual blessings in his hands; and is heir of all things, and his people joint-heirs with him. Christ is God's "firstborn", or "first begotten", Hebrews 1:6, being begotten by him, and of him; and his firstbegotten, though none begotten after him; as the first that opened the womb, under the law, was called the firstborn, though none were ever born after; and in such sense his first begotten, as that he is his only begotten: and he is the firstborn, with respect to creatures; "he is the firstborn of every creature"; Colossians 1:15, being begotten and brought forth before any creature was in being, Proverbs 8:22, and, with respect to the saints, "he is the firstborn among many brethren", Romans 8:29, they are of the same nature, and in the same family, and in which Christ is a son, and the firstborn; and in all things he has the preeminence; and he is also "the firstborn from the dead", or "the first begotten of the dead", Colossians 1:18 being raised first from thence by his own power, and to an immortal life; and is the first fruits of them that sleep, and the efficient and meritorious cause of the resurrection of life, and the pattern and exemplar of it: even him the Father promises to make "higher than the kings of the earth"; having a kingdom of a superior nature to theirs, and a more extensive and durable one; and even they themselves shall be subject to him; hence he is called "King of kings", Revelation 19:16. This will be when their kingdoms become his; when they shall fall down before him, and worship him, and bring their riches and glory into his kingdom, or the New Jerusalem church state,

Psalms 72:10. This passage is interpreted of the Messiah by the Jews f.

f In Shemot Rabba, s. 19. fol. 104. 4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Also I will make him my first-born - He shall be regarded and treated by me as the first-born son is in a family; that is, with distinguished favor and honor. Compare Genesis 27:19; Genesis 29:26; Exodus 4:22; Exodus 13:12; Jeremiah 31:9. See also the notes at Colossians 1:15, notes at Colossians 1:18.

Higher than the kings of the earth - Than other kings; the most exalted among kings and rulers. This was entirely fulfilled in David, who occupied a pre-eminence among princes and rulers which no other king did: a prominence alike in his own personal character and his reign; in his relation to God; and in the fact that he was the ancestor of the Messiah, the “King of kings, and Lord of lords” Revelation 19:16; “the prince of the kings of the earth,” Revelation 1:5.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 89:27. I will make him my first-born — I will deal with him as a father by his first-born son, to whom a double portion of possessions and honours belong. First-born is not always to be understood literally in Scripture. It often signifies simply a well-beloved, or best-beloved son; one preferred to all the rest, and distinguished by some eminent prerogative. Thus God calls Israel his son, his first-born, Exodus 4:22. See also Ecclus 36:12. And even Ephraim is called God's first-born, Jeremiah 31:9. In the same sense it is sometimes applied even to Jesus Christ himself, to signify his supereminent dignity; not the eternal Sonship of his Divine nature, as inveterate prejudice and superficial thinking have supposed.
