SEV Biblia, Chapter 89:25
Asimismo pondré su mano en el mar, y en los ríos su diestra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 88:25
Verse 25. I will set his hand also in the sea ] This was literally fulfilled in David. Hand signifies power or authority; he set his hand on the sea in conquering the Philistines, and extending his empire along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, from Tyre to Pelusium. All the coasts of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Arabic Ocean, might be said to have been under his government, for they all paid tribute to him or his son Solomon. His right hand in the rivers ] First, the Euphrates: he subjected all Syria, and even a part of Mesopotamia; 2 Sam. viii. 3; 1 Chron. xviii. 3. He also took Damascus, and consequently had his hand or authority over the river Chrysorrhoes, or Baraddi; and in his conquest of all Syria his hand must have been on the Orontes and other rivers in that region. But if this be considered as referring to the typical David, we see that He was never conquered; he never lost a battle; the hosts of hell pursued him in vain.
Satan was discomfited, and all his enemies bruised under his feet. Even over death he triumphed; and as to his dominion, it has spread and is spreading over all the isles of the sea, and the continents of the world.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19-37 - The Lord anointed David with the holy oil, not only as an emblem of the graces and gifts he received, but as a type of Christ, the King Priest and Prophet, anointed with the Holy Ghost without measure. David afte his anointing, was persecuted, but none could gain advantage agains him. Yet all this was a faint shadow of the Redeemer's sufferings deliverance, glory, and authority, in whom alone these predictions an promises are fully brought to pass. He is the mighty God. This is the Redeemer appointed for us, who alone is able to complete the work of our salvation. Let us seek an interest in these blessings, by the witness of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. As the Lord corrected the posterity of David for their transgressions, so his people shall be corrected for their sins. Yet it is but a rod, not a sword; it is to correct, not to destroy. It is a rod in the hand of God, who is wise and knows what he does; gracious, and will do what is best. It is a ro which they shall never feel, but when there is need. As the sun an moon remain in heaven, whatever changes there seem to be in them, an again appear in due season; so the covenant of grace made in Christ whatever alteration seems to come to it, should not be questioned.
