[26] He shall cry  unto me, Thou art my father,  my God,  and the rock  of my salvation.  [27] Also I will make  him my firstborn,  higher  than the kings  of the earth.  [28] My mercy  will I keep  for him for evermore,  and my covenant  shall stand fast  with him. [29] His seed  also will I make  to endure for ever,  and his throne  as the days  of heaven. 

What does Psalms 89:26-29 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

God promised that David would enjoy a special relationship of intimacy with Yahweh, who would treat him as His firstborn son ( 2 Samuel 7:14). This involved double blessings and much authority under his Father. David would become the most highly exalted king on the earth. Moreover, God would bless him with a dynasty that would rule Israel forever (cf. 2 Samuel 7:12-13; 2 Samuel 7:16).
