Psalms 119:89

Forever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven -This commences a new division of the psalm, indicated by the Hebrew letterLamed(לl), or “l.” On the meaning of the passage, see the notes atPsalms 89:2. The word rendered “settled” means properly “to set, to put, to place;” and then, to stand, to cause to stand, to set up, as a column,Genesis 35:20; an altar,Genesis 33:20; a monument,1 Samuel 15:12. The meaning here is, that the word - the law - the promise - of God was made firm, established, stable, in heaven; and would be so forever and ever.
