Study note
Setting — The psalmist addresses God immediately after declaring His eternal constancy in Psalms 102:27.
The words — The Hebrew יִשְׁכּ֑וֹנוּ (yish.Ko.nu) literally means "they will dwell," and יִכּֽוֹן (yi.Kon) translates to "it will be established."
The thread — The text links this promise to Psalms 69:35, Psalms 45:16, and Psalms 89:4, which similarly describe God establishing offspring and securing settlement.
Why it lands — The passage asserts that human generational continuity rests on divine action rather than natural permanence.
