For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. (Ps. 119:89,90.)

The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. (Ps. 115:16.)

For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. (Isa. 45:18.)

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. (Ps. 104:5.)

One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. (Eccle. 1:4.)
