Psalms 78:69

He made his sanctuary as enduring as the heavens above; ¹  as secure as the earth, which he established permanently. ² 

1Sa 2:8; 1Ki 6:2; 1Ki 9:8; 1Ch 29:1,19; 2Ch 2:9; 2Ch 3:4; Job 26:7; Ps 102:25; Ps 104:5; Ps 119:90,91; Isa 48:13; Isa 51:6; Col 1:16,17; Re 20:11

¹ tc Heb “and he built like the exalting [ones] his sanctuary.” The phrase כְּמוֹ־רָמִים (kÿmo-ramim, “like the exalting [ones]”) is a poetic form of the comparative preposition followed by a participial form of the verb רוּם (rum, “be exalted”). The text should be emended to כִּמְרֹמִים (kimromim, “like the [heavenly] heights”). See Ps 148:1, where “heights” refers to the heavens above.

² tn Heb “like the earth, [which] he established permanently.” The feminine singular suffix on the Hebrew verb יָסַד (yasad, “to establish”) refers to the grammatically feminine noun “earth.”
