Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 146:6

"Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;" — Psalms 146:6 (ASV)

Truth. —Or, faithfulness. The connection of this feature of the Divine character with the creative act is worthy of notice. That act alone was for the universe a promise and pledge, just as the covenant was a peculiar promise to Israel. Tennyson has put the same thought into verse:

“You made man, he does not know why;
He thinks he was not made to die;
And You have made him: You are just.”
