Context of Psalms 102:25
23But God has made me weak before I have reached old age. He has made my life short. 24So I pray, ‘My God, please do not let me die now, in the middle of my life. The years of your life continue for ever! Long ago, you built the world on a strong foundation. You created the heavens with your own hands. 26They will all disappear one day, but you will remain. They will become spoiled, like old clothes. Like clothes, you will remove them, so that they disappear. 27But you remain the same, Lord. The years of your life will never finish.

Commentaries on Psalms 102:25
- 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
