Just as Psalm 72:5 used the images of the sun & the moon as symbols of longevity…so here the Lord is comparing the security of His promises to restore Israel and His Kingdom with the constancy of day following night. It shows His commitment as unchanging as the course of the day…from His Davidic Covenant in II Samuel 7:12-16 to His covenant with the Tribe of Levi in Numbers 1:47-54…God assures them and us that nothing will ever make null & void His everlasting promises for His people.
