span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.102.1" class="versetxt"> Ipsi David. [Benedic, anima mea, Domino,
et omnia quæ intra me sunt nomini sancto ejus.
Benedic, anima mea, Domino,
et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones ejus.
Qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis;
qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas:
qui redimit de interitu vitam tuam;
qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus:
qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum;
renovabitur ut aquilæ juventus tua:
faciens misericordias Dominus,
et judicium omnibus injuriam patientibus.
Notas fecit vias suas Moysi;
filiis Israël voluntates suas.
Miserator et misericors Dominus:
longanimis, et multum misericors.
Non in perpetuum irascetur,
neque in æternum comminabitur.
Non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis,
neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuit nobis.
Quoniam secundum altitudinem cæli a terra,
corroboravit misericordiam suam super timentes se;
quantum distat ortus ab occidente,
longe fecit a nobis iniquitates nostras.
Quomodo miseretur pater filiorum,
misertus est Dominus timentibus se.
Quoniam ipse cognovit figmentum nostrum;
recordatus est quoniam pulvis sumus.
Homo, sicut fœnum dies ejus;
tamquam flos agri, sic efflorebit:
quoniam spiritus pertransibit in illo, et non subsistet,
et non cognoscet amplius locum suum.
Misericordia autem Domini ab æterno,
et usque in æternum super timentes eum.
Et justitia illius in filios filiorum,
his qui servant testamentum ejus,
et memores sunt mandatorum ipsius ad faciendum ea.
Dominus in cælo paravit sedem suam,
et regnum ipsius omnibus dominabitur.
Benedicite Domino, omnes angeli ejus:
potentes virtute, facientes verbum illius,
ad audiendam vocem sermonum ejus.
Benedicite Domino, omnes virtutes ejus;
ministri ejus, qui facitis voluntatem ejus.
Benedicite Domino, omnia opera ejus:
in omni loco dominationis ejus,
benedic, anima mea, Domino.]

[102:26] Initio terram fundasti; et opera manuum tuarum sunt caeli.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth,.... The lower part of the creation, the Lord's footstool, called the earth beneath: this has its foundation; though what it is cannot be well said, it cannot be searched out; it is sometimes said to be founded upon the waters, and yet so as not to be removed for ever,

Jeremiah 31:37, this shows the wisdom of God, as a wise master builder, and the stability of the earth; and is a proof of the deity of Christ, to whom these words belong: this is said to be done "of old", or "at" or "in the beginning", as Jarchi and the Targum; and so in Hebrews 1:10, where they are applied to the Messiah, the Son of God; and this, as it proves the eternity of Christ, who must be in the beginning, and before all things, so it confutes the notion of the eternity of the earth, received by some philosophers: besides, the words may be rendered, "before" g "thou foundest the earth"; and so refers to the preceding, "thy years", c. were before the earth was that is, from eternity, and so fully express the eternal existence of Christ:

and the heavens are the work of thy hands; these are the airy and starry heavens, and the heaven of heavens; which are creatures, and not to be worshipped, made by Christ himself, and are expressive of his power, wisdom, and glory.

g לפנים "antea", Pagninus, Montanus, Gejerus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Of old - See this passage fully explained in the notes at Hebrews 1:10-12. In the beginning; at the first. The phrase used here means literally “to the face;” then, “before” in the order of time. It means here, long ago; of olden time; at the beginning. The meaning is, that the years of God had stretched through all the generations of people, and all the changes which had occurred upon the earth; that at the very beginning he existed, and that he would continue to exist to the very close, unchangeably the same.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 102:25. Of old hast thou laid the foundation — None taught of God ever imagined the world to have been eternal. Of old, לפנים lephanim, before there were any faces or appearances, thou didst lay the foundations of the earth. It was created by thee; it did not grow by accretion or aggregation from a pre-existent nucleus. There was nothing; and thou didst produce being - substance or matter. Out of that created matter thou didst make the earth and the heavens.
