Psalms 89:38

³⁶ his offspring shall endure forever, and his throne before Me like the sun,

³⁷ like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky.” Selah

Now, however, You have spurned and rejected him; You are enraged by Your anointed one.

³⁹ You have renounced the covenant with Your servant and sullied his crown in the dust.

⁴⁰ You have broken down all his walls; You have reduced his strongholds to rubble.

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.
