Comfort in God's Consistency

Commentators explain that the psalmist finds comfort by remembering God's "judgments of old." This refers to the unchanging principles of God's character and administration. In times of chaos, reflecting on God's consistent faithfulness throughout history provides a solid foundation for our trust. As Matthew Henry notes, we are encouraged because God "is still the same."
