1. I will establish his line forever (19-37)

God chose the young shepherd boy David and raised him up to be the king of his people. David loved God. God strengthened and protected him and gave him victory over all his enemies. He promised that David's descendant would call God 'Father', and would be his firstborn son, and that his kingdom would be established forever. God kept his promise and sent Jesus, the descendant of David and Son of God, to be Messiah and eternal King. God is faithful to keep his promises.

2. O Lord, where is your former love? (38-51)

The Psalmist was living in a time of national distress and personal suffering. Perhaps he was a king, a descendant of David. It seemed to him that God had forgotten his promises. He reminded God of his covenant and laid his agony and sorrow before God. Then he said, 'Praise be to the Lord forever.' Let us also come to God and claim his promises and praise his name.

Application: Lord, your promises and your love are unchanging. I hold onto you alone.
One Word: God's faithfulness is forever
