Psalms 89:26
24 My faithfulness and loving devotion will be with him, and through My name his horn will be exalted.
25 I will set his hand over the sea, and his right hand upon the rivers.
He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock of my salvation.’
27 I will indeed appoint him as My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 I will forever preserve My loving devotion for him, and My covenant with him will stand fast.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
