25 Thou hast aforetime laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thine hands.

26 [a]They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: even they all shall wax old as doth a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.

  1. Psalm 102:26 If heaven and earth perish, much more man shall perish: but the Church by reason of God’s promise endureth forever.

24 So I said:

25 In the beginning(B) you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens(C) are the work of your hands.(D)
26 They will perish,(E) but you remain;

Like clothing you will change them
    and they will be discarded.
