“ Verse 27 higher than the kings of the earth
The eighty-ninth Psalm is at once the confirmation and exposition of the Davidic Covenant 2 Samuel 7:9-14. That the covenant itself looks far beyond David and Solomon is sure from Psalms 89:27. "Higher than the kings of the earth" can only refer to Immanuel. ; Isaiah 7:13-15; 9:6,7; Micah 5:2.
The Psalm is in four parts:
(1) The covenant, though springing from the lovingkindness of Jehovah, yet rests upon His oath (vs. 1-4) . (2) Jehovah is glorified for His power and goodness in connection with the covenant (vs 5-18) . ”

“ Verse 7 All they that see me
Psalm 22. is a graphic picture of death by crucifixion. The bones (of the hands, arms, shoulders, and pelvis) out of joint (Psalms 22:14) the profuse perspiration caused by intense suffering (v. 14) ; the action of the heart affected (v.14) ; strength exhausted, and extreme thirst (Psalms 22:15) ; the hands and feet pierced (Psalms 22:16) partial nudity with hurt to modesty (Psalms 22:17) , are all incidental to that mode of death. The accompanying circumstances are precisely those fulfilled in the crucifixion of Christ. Psalms 22:14-17. ”

“ Verse 1 I waited
The 40th Psalm speaks of Messiah, Jehovah's Servant, obedient unto death. The Psalm begins with the joy of Christ in resurrection (Psalms 40:1,2) . He has been in the horrible pit of the grave, but has been brought up. Verses 3-5 are His resurrection testimony, His "new song." Verses 6 and 7 are retrospective. When sacrifice and offering had become abominable because of the wickedness of the people Isaiah 1:10-15 then the obedient Servant came to make the pure offering ; Psalms 40:7-17; Hebrews 10:5-17. See Psalm 41., next in order of the Messianic Psalms. ”

“ Psalms 72:2-7,12-14 give the character of the kingdom. (Cf) Isaiah 11:3-9.
The emphatic word is righteousness. The sermon on the Mount describes the kingdom of righteousness. Verses 8-11 speak of the universality of the kingdom. Verse 16 hints at the means by which universal blessing is to be brought in. Converted Israel will be the "handful of corn" Amos 9:9 as the King Himself in death and resurrection was the single grain, the "corn of wheat" John 12:24 "To the Jew first" is the order alike of Church and kingdom. ”

“ Verse 5 trust (See Scofield "Psalms 2:12") .

Verse 1 Neginoth Stringed instruments. ”

“ Under grace the sinner is purged by blood when he believes Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 1:3; 9:12; 10:14. Both aspects of cleansing, by blood and by water, are brought out in ; John 13:10; Ephesians 5:25,26.
"He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet" ”

“ Verse 28 For the kingdom is
CF.v. 30. The kingdom is Jehovah's. In verse 30 Adonai is in view as ruling on behalf of Jehovah. See Psa 110., with Matthew 22:42-45. The great end and object of the rule of Adonai (Lord) is the restoration of the kingdom to Jehovah (Lord) .
