He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
He has established them forever and ever; he has made a law that will never change.
God is saying that he has set up the heavens and everything in them with permanent laws that will last forever.
📚 Historical Context
Psalm 148 is a hymn of praise in the Book of Psalms, likely written during the post-exilic period of ancient Israel when the people were rebuilding their faith and worship after returning from Babylonian captivity. In this verse, "them" refers to the heavenly bodies and elements of creation mentioned earlier in the psalm, emphasizing God's eternal establishment of the natural order as a reflection of His unchanging sovereignty. This highlights the Israelite belief in a Creator God who maintains stability in the universe amidst human instability.
