But You remain the same
This phrase emphasizes the unchanging nature of God. The Hebrew root for "remain" is "עָמַד" (amad), which conveys the idea of standing firm or enduring. In a world where everything is subject to change and decay, this attribute of God provides a foundation of stability and reliability. Historically, the Israelites experienced numerous changes, from slavery in Egypt to wandering in the desert, and later, exile. Yet, through all these changes, God remained constant. This constancy is a source of comfort and assurance for believers, affirming that God's character, promises, and love are unwavering.

and Your years will never end
The phrase "Your years" in Hebrew is "שָׁנֶיךָ" (shanekha), which refers to the eternal nature of God. Unlike human years, which are finite and marked by beginnings and endings, God's existence transcends time. This concept is rooted in the Hebrew understanding of God as eternal, without beginning or end, as seen in the name "Yahweh," which implies self-existence and timelessness. The assurance that God's years will never end provides believers with hope and confidence in the eternal nature of His kingdom and His everlasting covenant with His people. This eternal perspective encourages Christians to trust in God's eternal plan and His sovereign control over history.

Verse 27. - But thou art the same; literally, but thou art HE (comp. Isaiah 44:4; Isaiah 46:4); i.e. "thou art the one eternal and unchangeable existence - the one reality." And thy years shall have no end. It is by an accommodation to human modes of thought that God's "years" are spoken cf. An eternal existence is a unity - not made up of years and days.
