“Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.”
King James Version (KJV)
102:23 He - God. The way - In the midst of the course of our lives. Some think the psalmist here speaks of the whole commonwealth as of one man, and of its continuance, as of the life of one man.
102:24 I said - Do not wholly destroy thy people Israel. In the midst - Before they come to a full possession of thy promises and especially of that fundamental promise of the Messiah. Thy years - Though we die, yet thou art the everlasting God.
102:26 Perish - As to their present nature and use.
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heauens are the worke of thy hands.
