12 But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
12 But you, Lord, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations.
12 But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever; you are remembered throughout all generations.
12 Yet you, God, are sovereign still, always and ever sovereign.
12 But You, O Lord, shall endure forever, And the remembrance of Your name to all generations.
12 But you, O Lord, will sit on your throne forever. Your fame will endure to every generation.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 102:12
Commentary on Psalm 102:12-22
(Read Psalm 102:12-22)
We are dying creatures, but God is an everlasting God, the protector of his church; we may be confident that it will not be neglected. When we consider our own vileness, our darkness and deadness, and the manifold defects in our prayers, we have cause to fear that they will not be received in heaven; but we are here assured of the contrary, for we have an Advocate with the Father, and are under grace, not under the law. Redemption is the subject of praise in the Christian church; and that great work is described by the temporal deliverance and restoration of Israel. Look down upon us, Lord Jesus; and bring us into the glorious liberty of thy children, that we may bless and praise thy name.
