Psalm 102:25
“Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 102Meaning
Creation language grounds God's permanence and sovereignty in contrast to human weakness.
Human frailty and the Creator's permanence
The prayer returns to shortened human life, then rests in the Creator who remains unchanged across generations.
Read carefully
The psalm places creation beside lament rather than erasing the lament.
Reflection
Let creation language widen the horizon toward God's permanence.
