{Psalms 89:37} It shall be established 3559 z8735 for ever 5769 as the moon, 3394 and [as] a faithful 539 z8737 witness 5707 in heaven. 7834 Selah. 5542

It shall:
That is, as long as the sun and moon shall endure, as long as time shall last, his kingdom shall continue among men. The moon is probably termed a faithful witness, 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 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. Or, the rainbow may be intended; that faithful sign which God has established in the clouds, that the earth shall no more be destroyed by water.
