The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

He hath also established them forever and ever (comp. Psalms 89:37). The expression, "forever and ever," must not be pressed. It means "for all time"—while heaven and earth endure—but does not imply an absolute perpetuity.

He hath made a decree which shall not pass; rather, which shall not pass away (see the Revised Version; and comp Genesis 8:22; Jeremiah 31:35, Jeremiah 31:36; Jeremiah 33:25).
