Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
All Commentaries on Psalms 90:2 Go To Psalms 90
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Formed. Hebrew, "brought forth "Job xxxviii. 8. (Calmet)
Here Origen improperly concluded the sentence. (St. Jerome, Ep. ad Cypr.)
God, is not in Septuagint, Syriac, or ancient Latin psalters. (Calmet)
Al signifies both God, and not, and seems to be twice explained in the Vulgate, as Hebrew omits not, ver. 3. (Haydock)
The sentence would be very striking, if God were left out, as it is done by Houbigant. The eternity of matter is refuted by this text. (Berthier) (Worthington)
God's eternity is contrasted with man's short life. (Calmet)
New gods must of course be false. (Menochius)
Plato asserted, that "the creator of all must be unbegotten and eternal. "(Plut. Conviv. viii.)
