Psalm 119:89-96 Part 1

                    LAMEDH 

Your eternal word, O LORD,

    stands firm in heaven.

Your faithfulness extends to every generation,

    as enduring as the earth you created. 

Your regulations remain true to this day,

    for everything serves your plans.

If your instructions hadn't sustained me with joy,

    I would have died in misery.

I will never forget your commandments,

    for by them you give me life.

I am yours, rescue me!

    For I have worked hard at obeying your commandments.

Though the wicked hide along the way to kill me,

    I will quietly keep my mind on your laws.

Even perfection has its limits,

    but your commands have no limit. 

 

Your eternal word, O LORD, stands firm in heaven.

"The grass withers and the flowers fade,

    but the word of our God stands forever."  (see all Isaiah 40)

Isaiah 51:6  

"Look up to the skies above,

    and gaze down on the earth below.

For the skies will disappear like smoke,

    and the earth will wear out like a piece of clothing.

The people of the earth will die like flies,

    but my salvation lasts forever.

    My righteous rule will never end!"  (see all Isaiah 51)

"I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God's law will disappear until its purpose is achieved."  

(see Matthew 5:17-20)

Luke 21:33  

"Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear."  

(see Luke 21:5-36)

1 Peter 1:23-25  

    For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. As the Scriptures say,

    "People are like grass;

        their beauty is like a flower in the field.

    The grass withers and the flower fades.

        But the word of the Lord remains forever."  (Isaiah 40:6-8)

And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.  

(see all 1 Peter 1)
