The article interprets the Psa 89 as a supplication of a dispirited king before serious Davidic dynastic crisis. The king is uncrowned (B.) and without children (A.), despite the ritual oath of Yahweh (A), which according to near-east mythical-cosmogonic tradition, in this case, Israelite/Jewish (B), legitimizes the Davidic monarchy as replica of heavenly royalty of the cosmogonic god (X). The ritual makes the king and the people to know that the .faithfulness. and .loyalty. of Yahweh ensure the perpetuity of the dynasty . respectively of the .creation.. The dethronement of royalty (B.) is already in itself an anticosmogony (B x B.). But an even greater tragedy is just around the corner . the king is near death, and has no offspring (A.). That is the anguish of distress: where did all the old loyalties of Yahweh that he in his fidelity had sworn to David (A x A.)? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
