Before All Things, God Is
Commentators explain that this verse powerfully declares God's absolute eternity. Using the imagery of mountains—the most ancient and enduring parts of creation—the psalmist shows they are like newborns compared to God. He existed before anything was made and will exist forever, 'from everlasting to everlasting.' This isn't just a long time; it's an existence without beginning or end.
