God laid the foundations (מְכוֹנֶיהָ / yesod-language) of the earth so that it should not be moved forever.
The literal wording is 'not be moved forever'. Whether the psalm intends celestial mechanics or covenant stability is interpretation.
A founded, stationary earth resting on immovable foundations.
Poetic language of stability and covenant reliability, not planetary immobility — as with 'you shall not be moved' promises to the righteous.
Foundation; base of a structure.
