Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant
His servant David the Messiah, ( Psalms 89:3 Psalms 89:20
) , meaning not the covenant of circumcision, nor the covenant at
Sinai, which were really made void at the death of Christ; but
the covenant of grace and redemption made with Christ, which it
was promised should stand fast, and never be broken, ( Psalms 89:3 Psalms 89:28
Psalms
89:34 ) , but was thought to be null and void when the
Redeemer was in the grave, and all hopes of redemption by him
were gone, ( Luke 24:21 ) , but so
far was it from being so, that it was confirmed by the sufferings
and death of Christ; and every blessing and promise of it were
ratified by his blood, hence called the blood of the everlasting
covenant, ( Hebrews
13:20 ) ,
thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the
ground:
by suffering it to be cast to the ground, and used contemptibly;
as when Jesus was crowned with thorns, and saluted in a mock
manner; when an "if" was put upon his being the King of Israel, (
Matthew
27:29 Matthew
27:42 ) , and which seemed very inconsistent with the
promise, ( Psalms 89:27
) that he should be made higher than the kings of the earth; and
yet so it was, and is; he is highly exalted, made Lord and
Christ, crowned with glory and honour, and is set far above all
principality and power, and every name that is named in this
world or that to come, notwithstanding all the above usage of
him.
