THE
EARTH ABIDETH
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)
