It shall be established forever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven.
Selah.

George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Witness. Which may refer to the throne, or to the sun, (Calmet) or to the rainbow. (Berthier) (Du Hamel)
As long as the stars subsist, so long shall his throne be established. (Calmet)
The Church shines like the sun, and is easily known. (Berthier)
God, (Eusebius) or Christ, attests the promises. (St. Jerome) (Isaias lv. 4., and Apocalypse i. 5.)
The rainbow was assigned as a memorial, that the world should no more be drowned, Genesis ix. The other covenants made by God have no less stability. (Haydock)
Christian souls may shine in virtue, like the sun, or full moon, (Worthington) particularly (Haydock) after the resurrection, when they will be perfect, and not liable to change. (St. Augustine)
