📚 Historical Context
This psalm was written during a time of national crisis, likely during the Babylonian exile when Israel felt abandoned and their future seemed uncertain. The psalmist contrasts the temporary nature of all creation—including human life and even the heavens and earth—with God's unchanging, eternal nature. This verse comes at the climax of that contrast, offering hope that while everything else may pass away, God endures forever.
