Context of Psalms 102:25

23He weakened my strength in the way, he shortened my days. 24I said, My God, take me not away in the midst of my days! ...Thy years are from generation to generation. Of old hast thou founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands: 26They shall perish, but thou continuest; and all of them shall grow old as a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed. 27But thou art the Same, and thy years shall have no end.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 25Of old hast thou laid the foundation - None taught of God ever imagined the world to have been eternal. Of old, לפנים lephanim, before there were any faces or appearances, thou didst lay the foundations of the earth. It was created by thee; it did not grow by accretion or aggregation from a pre-existent nucleus. There was nothing; and thou didst produce being - substance or matter. Out of that created matter thou didst make the earth and the heavens.Read the comment

It is very comfortable, in reference to all the changes and…Read the comment
