Gill's Exposition on Psalms 89:26
He shall cry unto me, thou art my Father,.... Not by creation, as he is the Father of angels and men; nor by adoption, as he is the Father of saints; but by generation, being the begotter of him,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 89:26
Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 89:26
He shall find me to be a true and a kind Father to him, and shall familiarly and confidently make his addresses to me as such, for all necessary supplies and assistances, which parents willingly afford to their children, as need requires.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 89:26
Psalms 89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou [art] my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.Ver. 26. He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father] This was a royalty above all the rest, John 1:12 1 John 3:1, and applied to Christ, the only begotten Son of God; it sets him above all the angels, Hebrews 1:4-8 My God] This is the beehive of heavenly honey.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 89:26
(26) He shall cry.—This verse is interesting in view of the theological development in the psalter. We might think that the poet was referring to an actual psalm of David, with whom the expression, “My God, the rock of my salvation,” was familiar (see Psalms 18:1-2, &c.), were it not for the word “Father,” a title for the Divine Being which the national religion did not frame till the exile period (Jeremiah 3:4; Jeremiah 3:19; Isaiah 63:16).
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 89:26
26. The promise made to David on behalf of Solomon is here extended to David himself. For my God, and the rock of my salvation cp. Psalms 18:2; Deuteronomy 32:15.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 89:26
He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father - He shall appeal to me, or come to me as a Father, and as his only hope and defense. My God - He shall come to me as God, and shall recognize me as his God, his only trust and hope.
