First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange Texas

In Psalm 119:89, the phrase "settled in heaven" means that God's word is eternal, unchanging, and authoritative. The Hebrew word natsab, which is translated as "settled", also means "stationary, fixed, permanent, with no sense of movement". The psalmist marvels at the perfections of God's word, including its timeless, unlimited, and infinite nature. The word of God is the pillar that upholds the world, and it stands firm, settled, and immovable, even when people ignore, despise, or defy it.
