Psalms 89:52

The doxology marks the close of Book iii. Cp. Psalms 41:13; Psalms 72:18-19; Psalms 106:48. In P.B.V. it is joined, somewhat incongruously, to the preceding verse. But though it is no part of the original Psalm, it is entirely in harmony with the spirit of it, as an expression of the faith which can bless God even when the visible signs of His love are withdrawn. Cp. Job 1:21.
