Sons of Eternity

After reviewing the past, the psalmist transcends all time. With powerful words, he positions himself in the present that embraces yesterday and tomorrow and provides us with a grandiose vision: he proclaims that God is eternally present. Indeed, God’s divine majesty moves in the background of the psalm like a perennial current, eternally the same, in contrast to the incessant changeability of human nature.

Before the mountains were born

The earth and the world brought forth

From eternity to eternity, You are God.

It is a powerful cosmic vision in which the psalmist looks back and then looks forward. But he does not stay in the past or with the future, but rather with the present: You are.
