Psalms 102:26-27

Context

102:26 They will perish,

but you will endure. 1 

They will wear out like a garment;

like clothes you will remove them and they will disappear. 2 

102:27 But you remain; 3 

your years do not come to an end.

1 tn Heb “stand.”

2 tn The Hebrew verb חָלַף (khalaf) occurs twice in this line, once in the Hiphil (“you will remove them”) and once in the Qal (“they will disappear”). The repetition draws attention to the statement.

3 tn Heb “you [are] he,” or “you [are] the one.” The statement may echo the Lord’s affirmation “I am he” in Isa 41:4; 43:10, 13; 46:10; 48:12. In each of these passages the affirmation emphasizes the fact that the Lord transcends time limitations, the very point being made in Ps 102:27.
