Psalms (Old Testament) · Hymn / Kingship Psalm
Loading verified corpus…
Yahweh reigns; he is clothed with majesty. The world (tebel) is established — it cannot be moved.
The Hebrew 'bal-timmot' — 'it will not totter' — is the same phrase applied elsewhere to the righteous person (Ps 15:5; 16:8). Reading it as astrophysics vs. covenant stability is interpretation.
The world is a fixed, unmoving realm under God's kingship.
Poetic assurance of God's stabilizing rule; 'cannot be moved' as covenant/kingship metaphor rather than planetary mechanics.
Earth; land; the ground or a defined territory.
