This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And - In another passage (Psa 102:25-27) He says.
in the beginning - English Version, Psa 102:25, “of old”: Hebrew, “before,” “aforetime.” The Septuagint, “in the beginning” (as in Gen 1:1) answers by contrast to the end implied in “They shall perish,” etc. The Greek order here (not in the Septuagint) is, “Thou in the beginning, O Lord,” which throws the “Lord” into emphasis. “Christ is preached even in passages where many might contend that the Father was principally intended” [Bengel].
laid the foundation of - “firmly founded” is included in the idea of the Greek.
heavens - plural: not merely one, but manifold, and including various orders of heavenly intelligences (Eph 4:10).
works of thine hands - the heavens, as a woven veil or curtain spread out.
