calling forth the generations from the beginning?
I, the Lord—with the first of them
and with the last—I am he. - He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.” - This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

and his paths beyond tracing out! - The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

not a human being, that he should change his mind.

your throne endures from generation to generation. - These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
