This verse is part of Psalm 89, which reflects on God's covenant with King David and his descendants.

The psalmist is wrestling with how God's eternal covenant with David could be reconciled with the current difficulties facing the royal line.

Matthew 23:23
Jesus is calling out the religious leaders: 'You're such hypocrites! You're so careful to give God exactly 10% of every tiny herb in your spice rack — your mint, your dill, your cumin — but you completely ignore the big stuff that actually matters: justice, mercy, and faith. Look, you should definitely keep doing the small things, but don't use them as an excuse to skip what really counts.'
James 1:26
If someone acts all religious but can't control what comes out of their mouth, they're just fooling themselves. Their whole faith thing? It's completely empty.
Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ, but I'm still alive. However, it's not really me living anymore—it's Christ living in me. The life I now live in my physical body, I live by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and sacrificed himself for me.
