Your faithfulness
The Hebrew word for "faithfulness" is "emunah," which conveys a sense of steadfastness, reliability, and trustworthiness. In the context of Psalm 119, this word underscores God's unwavering commitment to His promises and His people. Throughout the Bible, God's faithfulness is a recurring theme, reminding believers that He is constant and unchanging. This assurance of divine faithfulness provides a foundation for trust and hope, encouraging believers to rely on God's promises even in times of uncertainty.

continues through all generations
The phrase "continues through all generations" emphasizes the eternal nature of God's faithfulness. The Hebrew word "dor" refers to a generation, highlighting the idea that God's reliability is not limited to a single time or group of people but extends across all ages. This continuity assures believers that the same God who was faithful to Abraham, Moses, and David remains faithful today. It is a reminder of the timelessness of God's covenant and His enduring presence in the lives of His people.

You established the earth, and it endures
The act of establishing the earth is a testament to God's creative power and sovereignty. The Hebrew verb "kun" means to establish or set up, indicating a deliberate and purposeful act. This phrase reflects the creation narrative in Genesis, where God speaks the world into existence. The enduring nature of the earth serves as a metaphor for God's unchanging nature. Just as the earth remains firm and stable, so does God's faithfulness. This imagery reinforces the idea that God's promises are as reliable as the very ground we stand on, providing a sense of security and stability for believers.

Verse 90. - Thy faithfulness is unto all generations. God "keepeth his promise forever" (Psalm 146:6, Prayer-book Version). If his "Word" generally is unchanging, so especially must be his promises. Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. Even God's physical laws have a character of perpetuity about them. "The constancy of God in his works is an argument for the faithfulness of God in his Word" (Chalmers).
