Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
But you, God, you're still here. You've always been here. Your throne doesn't change when everything else falls apart, and it won't change for the generations that come after us.
When everything else crumbles, God's throne stays solid, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
