Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
The verse belongs to a psalm that exalts God's law and testimonies. Its "testimonies" are the teachings of His law, His Word and law. God founded His testimonies forever, so they are sacred, permanent and enduring in authority, not temporary or subject to change.
They existed from the beginning, given at the foundation of the world, and continue unchanged through every generation into eternity. Their holy principles cannot be removed or improved. As the lasting standard for life, they define right and wrong and truth and error and direct people to righteousness. They will stand as the standard by which the world is judged.
When people disobey and forget God, they lose the knowledge of His will and doctrine, and confusion follows. Bold and defiant insult against God's holy law and commandments has reached the point where the Lord will arise to interfere and punish. His great forbearance and long-suffering toward continual perversity will end because cruelty is making life intolerable.
