Psalm 90:2
“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 90Meaning
Within “God our eternal dwelling,” verse 2 sets God's existence before mountains, earth, and world, presenting him as God from everlasting to everlasting; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.
Read carefully
Read Psalm 90:2 inside its literary unit and the movement of Psalm 90; its imagery and claims are constrained by that context.
Reflection
Respond to the verse's specific emphasis — sets God's existence before mountains, earth, and world, presenting him as God from everlasting to everlasting — while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 90.
