89 [a]Your word, O Lord, is everlasting;
    it is firmly fixed in the heavens.[b]
90 Your faithfulness lasts through all generations;
    you established the earth, and it endures.
91 By your judgments all creatures continue to exist,
    for they are all your servants.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 119:89 Like the first three verses of the first half of the psalm, these first three verses of the second half teach a general truth: there is constancy and order in all of creation, reflecting the faithfulness of the Lord (see Pss 89:3; 104; 147:7-9). Nature serves and abides by the word and the laws of the Lord (see note on Ps 93:5).
  2. Psalm 119:89 This verse is an echo of Prov 8:22ff where divine wisdom is presented as a living being existing from all eternity (see Wis 7:22—8:1; Isa 40:8).
