Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 37. - It shall be established forever as the moon (comp. Psalm 72:7). And as a faithful witness in heaven. Some understand this expression of the moon; but, as Professor Cheyne comments, "Who could witness (or declare) that such great things were true but Jehovah?" (So too Delitzsch, Kay, and Canon Cook.) If this be regarded as the true meaning, it will be better to translate, "the true witness." Job's citation of God as his witness (Job 16:19) is scarcely parallel.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(37) And as a faithful witness in heaven.--Rather, and there is a faithful witness in heaven, which the parallelism shows to be the moon, just mentioned. The moon (see Psalm 81:3) was to the Jews--as to the ancients generally--the "arbiter of festivals," and the festivals were signs of the covenant, consequently that luminary might well be called "a witness in heaven."
