SEV Biblia, Chapter 89:37

Como la luna será firme para siempre, y como un testigo fiel en el cielo. (Selah.)

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 88:37

Verse 37. As the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. ] That is, as long as the sun and moon shall endure, as long as time shall last, his kingdom shall last among men. The moon appears to be termed a faithful witness here, because by her particularly time is measured. Her decrease and increase are especially observed by every nation, and by these time is generally estimated, especially among the eastern nations. So many moons is a man old; so many moons since such an event happened; and even their years are reckoned by lunations. This is the case with the Mohammedans to the present day. Or the rainbow may be intended; that sign which God has established in the cloud; that faithful witness of his that the earth shall no more be destroyed by water. As long therefore as the sun, the moon, and the rainbow appear in the heavens, so long shall the spiritual David reign, and his seed prosper and increase.

Selah. ] It is confirmed; it shall not fail.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 38-52 - Sometimes it is not easy to reconcile God's providences with his promises, yet we are sure that God's works fulfil his word. When the great Anointed One, Christ himself, was upon the cross, God seemed to have cast him off, yet did not make void his covenant, for that wa established for ever. The honour of the house of David was lost Thrones and crowns are often laid in the dust; but there is a crown of glory reserved for Christ's spiritual seed, which fadeth not away. From all this complaint learn what work sin makes with families, nobl families, with families in which religion has appeared. They plead with God for mercy. God's unchangeableness and faithfulness assure us tha He will not cast off those whom he has chosen and covenanted with. The were reproached for serving him. The scoffers of the latter days, i like manner, reproach the footsteps of the Messiah when they ask, Wher is the promise of his coming? 2Pe 3:3, 4. The records of the Lord' dealings with the family of David, show us his dealings with his church, and with believers. Their afflictions and distresses may be grievous, but he will not finally cast them off. Self-deceivers abus this doctrine, and others by a careless walk bring themselves int darkness and distress; yet let the true believer rely on it for encouragement in the path of duty, and in bearing the cross. The psal ends with praise, even after this sad complaint. Those who give God thanks for what he has done, may give him thanks for what he will do God will follow those with his mercies, who follow him with praises __________________________________________________________________
