Contextual Overview

19 Once, in a vision, you spoke to those who worship you. You said, "I have given strength to a warrior; I have raised up a young man from my people. 20 I have found my servant David; I appointed him by pouring holy oil on him. 21 I will steady him with my hand and strengthen him with my arm. 22 No enemy will make him give forced payments, and wicked people will not defeat him. 23 I will crush his enemies in front of him; I will defeat those who hate him. 24 My loyalty and love will be with him. Through me he will be strong. 25 I will give him power over the sea and control over the rivers. 26 He will say to me, ‘You are my father, my God, the Rock, my Savior.' 27 I will make him my firstborn son, the greatest king on earth. 28 My love will watch over him forever, and my agreement with him will never end.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

My covenant will I not break,.... Not the covenant at Sinai, as Aben Ezra, but the covenant of grace made with Christ, and which stands fast with him, Psalms 89:3, which is firm, sure, and stable, and as immovable as mountains and hills, and more so, 2 Samuel 23:5 or "profane" m it, though his people profane his statutes, Psalms 89:31, he will not profane his covenant; though they violate his laws, he is a God keeping covenant with them, and will not break his word with them:

nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips; any promise of his, respecting either the temporal, spiritual, or eternal welfare of his people: or "not change" n; as he changes not in his nature and perfections, nor in his love and affections, nor in his counsels and purposes; so neither in his covenant and promises, they are always the same, and have a certain and unchangeable accomplishment; there is a performance of whatsoever is spoken by the Lord, Luke 1:45.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

My covenant will I not break - literally, I will not pollute, defile, profane. See the notes at Psalms 89:31, where the same word is used. God says that he will not do in regard to the covenant as they had done.

Nor alter the thing ... - The promise which I have made. I will not make it a different thing. I will not modify its conditions, or withdraw it. It shall stand precisely as it was when I uttered it. What God promises will be exactly performed.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 89:34. My covenant will I not break — My determination to establish a spiritual kingdom, the head of which shall be Jesus, the son of David, shall never fail. My prophets have declared this, and I will not alter the thing that is gone out of my mouth.
