They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.

God's Permanence vs. Creation

Commentators highlight the stark contrast in this verse. While the heavens and earth seem permanent, the psalmist compares them to a garment that wears out and is eventually replaced. In absolute contrast, God is eternal and unchanging. This establishes God's supreme, enduring nature over all of creation.
