Tikkun olam is the concept of perfect establishment in the Christian Bible in such passages as Ps. 89:37 KJV where the related yikkun olam is translated "established for ever". It's a Christian covenant concept. If Jews have mishandled it that's not the fault of the concept.
Psa 89:37 - Here is the Hebrew text "זרעו לעולם יהיה וכסאו כשׁמשׁ נגדי" and this is an online translator result "His seed will be forever and his throne as the sun against me"
My KJV says "It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah."
I just don't see how this refers to Tikkun olam? I always thought Tikkun olam is a concept in Judaism meaning "to repair, or to heal, the World".
Shortsighted.
Established forever without healing?
