Psalm 102:27
βBut thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.β
KJV
Read in Psalm 102Meaning
Divine constancy answers the psalm's repeated experience of human instability and mortality.
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 contrasts God's permanence with precisely the instability the sufferer experiences.
Reflection
Anchor hope in God's enduring character rather than in unchanging circumstances.
