Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 101:27
Verse 27. But thou art the same ] awh htaw veattah HU, but thou art HE, that is, The ETERNAL; and, consequently, he who only has immortality. Thy years shall have no end. ] wmty al lo yittammu, "they shall not be completed." Every thing has its revolution-its conception, growth, perfection, decay, dissolution, and death, or corruption. It may be said that regeneration restores all these substances; and so it does in a measure, but not without deterioration. The breed of animals, as well as vegetables, wears out; but God's eternal round has no completion. I repeat it, - what is necessarily eternal is unchangeable and imperishable; all created beings are perishable and mutable, because not eternal. God alone is eternal; therefore God alone is imperishable and immutable.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-28 - Bodily distempers soon weaken our strength, then what can we expect but that our months should be cut off in the midst; and what should we d but provide accordingly? We must own God's hand in it; and mus reconcile this to his love, for often those that have used their strength well, have it weakened; and those who, as we think, can very ill be spared, have their days shortened. It is very comfortable, in reference to all the changes and dangers of the church, to remembe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever. And in reference to the death of our bodies, and the removal of friends, to remember that God is an everlasting God. Do not let us overlook the assurance this psalm contains of a happy end to all the believer' trials. Though all things are changing, dying, perishing, like vesture folding up and hastening to decay, yet Jesus lives, and thu all is secure, for he hath said, Because I live ye shall live also __________________________________________________________________
