LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.

Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

Ish Elohim finds great delight and solace in the constancy of the LORD, God, the Almighty. Look at that, the opening phrase is “For ever” and there is no doubt in my mind that he understood the power of those two little words.

Then he segues from the permanence of thee Word of the LORD to his dependency upon them. He recognizes them as his very foundation of life within the Precepts of the Word, and his bulwark against the onslaughts of the wicked. Is there bit of a twinkle in his eye as he points out that perfection may come to and end, but the LORD’s commandments exceed that perfection.
