Psalm 102:26
“They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:”
KJV
Read in Psalm 102Meaning
The created order is portrayed as temporary compared with God. The image is theological poetry, not a timetable for cosmic destruction.
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
It contrasts creation's transience with God's permanence without supplying a chronology.
Reflection
Remember that the psalm locates permanence in God rather than in created things.
