Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
2 Your throne is established from of old;
you are from everlasting.
His Majesty reveals there is no limit to his power. God can and will accomplish all of his will.
There is no limit to his knowledge - Nothing catches him by surprise. All knowledge, all even ...
