Psalms 102:26 - Exposition

They shall perish. The coming destruction of the world that now is, is very frequently declared in Holy Scripture. But thou shalt endure. With the perishable nature of the whole material creation, the psalmist contrasts the absolute eternity of God (comp. Psalms 102:12 ; also Psalms 9:7 ; Hebrews 1:11 ). Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment (comp. Isaiah 51:6 ). As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed. Compare the prophecies of "a new heaven and a new earth" ( Isaiah 55:1-13 :17; Isaiah 66:22 ; 2 Peter 3:13 ; Revelation 21:1 ).
