Psalms 90:2. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
When compared with God, those hoary hills are but as infants of a day, and the whole round world itself is but as a new-born child. "From everlasting" has he existed, - when all created things slept in his infinite mind like unborn forests sleep in an acorn cup, and so on for ever, "to everlasting," - when all created things shall have dissolved, when back to nothing this fair world shall have gone, - God shall still be the same. He is a rook that cannot be removed. There is no terra firma upon this earth; but while all things are whirling around us, we find a firm dwelling place beyond the stars in the ever-living and immutable Jehovah. No man’s home is safe unless it is built on something more stable than this poor trembling earth, but he who rests on God, and lives in God, has the best of all habitations wherein to dwell in safety for ever.
