Context of Psalms 102:26
24I say, “O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days, Your years are throughout all generations. 25Of old You founded the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. Even they will perish, but You endure; And all of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed. 27But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end. 28The children of Your servants will continue, And their descendants will be established before You.”

Commentaries on Psalms 102:26
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 26They shall perish - Nothing can be eternal a parte ante, or a parte post, but thyself. Even that which thou hast created, because not necessarily eternal, must be perishable; necessary duration belongs to God only; and it is by his will and energy alone that universal nature is preserved in existence, and preserved from running into speedy disorder, decay, and ruin.

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