Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
And, Thou, Lord - This is an address to the Son as the Creator, see Heb 1:2; for this is implied in laying the foundation of the earth. The heavens, which are the work of his hands, point out his infinite wisdom and skill.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
And--In another passage (Psa 102:25-27) He says. in the beginning--English Version, Psa 102:25, "of old": Hebrew, "before," "aforetime." The Septuagint, "in the beginning" (as in Gen 1:1) answers by contrast to the end implied in "They shall perish," &c. The Greek order here (not in the Septuagint) is, "Thou in the beginning, O Lord," which throws the "Lord" into emphasis. "Christ is preached even in passages where many might contend that the Father was principally intended" [BENGEL]. laid the foundation of--"firmly founded" is included in the idea of the Greek. heavens--plural: not merely one, but manifold, and including various orders of heavenly intelligences (Eph 4:10). works of thine hands--the heavens, as a woven veil or curtain spread out.
John Gill Bible Commentary
And thou Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth,.... The person here addressed, as the Lord or Jehovah, and as the Maker of the heavens and the earth, is the same with the Son spoken to, and of, before; for the words are a continuation of the speech to him, though they are taken from another psalm, from Psa 102:25. The phrase, "thou, Lord" is taken from Psa 102:12 and is the same with, "O my God", Psa 102:24 and whereas it is there said, "of old", and here, in the beginning, the sense is the same; and agreeably to the Septuagint, and the apostle, Jarchi interprets it by "at", or "from the beginning"; and so the Targum paraphrases it, , "from the beginning", that the creatures were created, &c. that in the beginning of the creation, which is the apostle's meaning; and shows the eternity of Christ, the Lord, the Creator of the earth, who must exist before the foundation of the world; and confutes the notion of the eternity of the world: and the rounding of it shows that the earth is the lower part of the creation; and denotes the stability of it; and points out the wisdom of the Creator in laying such a foundation; and proves the deity of Christ, by whom that, and all things in it, were made: the heavens are the works of thine hands: there are more heavens than one; there are the airy heaven, and the starry heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the third heaven; and they were created the beginning, as the earth was, Gen 1:1 and are the immediate work of Christ; they were made by himself, not by the means of angels, who were not in being till these were made; nor by any intermediate help, which he could not have, and which he did not need: the phrase is expressive of the power of Christ in making the upper parts of the creation, and of his wisdom in garnishing them, in which there is a wonderful display of his glory; and the whole serves to set forth the dignity and excellency of his person.
Tyndale Open Study Notes
1:10-12 These verses, quoting Ps 102:25-27, celebrate the Son as both the creator and the one who brings the created order to an end. All created things will wear out like old clothing, and the Son will discard them (cp. Heb 2:5; 2 Pet 3:13; Rev 21:1). By contrast, the Son of God will live forever.

Pressures of Christianity 03 Faith Under Pressure
By Harry Deutchman70946:28HEB 1:10HEB 3:3HEB 7:24HEB 8:3HEB 10:12HEB 10:32HEB 10:39In this sermon, the preacher discusses the concept of God working behind the scenes in our lives.

God the Son: His Pre-Existence
By Lewis Sperry Chafer0MIC 5:2JHN 1:1JHN 8:58JHN 17:5JHN 20:28COL 1:16HEB 1:6HEB 1:10Lewis Sperry Chafer delves into the dual nature of the Lord Jesus Christ, perfectly human and divine, emphasizing His likeness and unlikeness to men. The Scriptures clearly depict Jesus as a man who lived, suffered, and died among men, yet with a sinless character, sacrificial death, and eternal pre-existence. The pre-existence of Christ is directly stated in various Scriptures, highlighting His infinite Person and eternal existence coequal with the Godhead, unaffected by His incarnation. Additionally, the Word of God consistently implies the pre-existence of Jesus through His works of creation, appearances as the Angel of Jehovah, divine titles, attributes of God, and being worshiped as God.
A Manifestation of God in Answer to Prayer
By T.M. Anderson0PSA 46:1PSA 118:6MRK 16:17ACT 4:27HEB 1:10T.M. Anderson preaches on the power of prevailing prayer as demonstrated in Acts 4:31, where the believers were filled with the Holy Ghost after praying together. The believers expected God to answer their prayers in His way, not necessarily through supernatural phenomena but through spiritual victories. They prayed in times of crisis, acknowledging the need for God's intervention and boldly speaking the word of God. The sermon emphasizes the importance of continual infilling with the Holy Spirit to overcome spiritual challenges and the need for unwavering faith in prayer, trusting in God's unchanging nature and promises.
The Church the Body of Christ
By Elijah Goodwin0MAT 1:23JHN 1:1JHN 1:3ROM 6:31CO 11:31CO 12:12GAL 3:27EPH 1:22EPH 5:23COL 1:18HEB 1:101JN 4:11Elijah Goodwin preaches about the significance of Christ as the head of the church, emphasizing His supremacy in various biblical figures and the pre-eminence He should have in all aspects. The sermon delves into the character of Christ, highlighting His divine nature as the creator and upholder of all things, and the unity that exists between Christ as the head and the church as His body. Practical reflections are drawn on the importance of loving one another, honoring Christ, cooperating for the church's welfare, maintaining purity, and the assurance of resurrection for the members of Christ's body.
Prove All Things
By J.C. Ryle0JOB 38:5PSA 8:3MAT 7:25JHN 10:28ROM 5:3EPH 3:17COL 1:23HEB 1:101PE 5:10Doug Goins and Barclay emphasize the importance of being firmly established on a secure foundation, especially in times of suffering, which drives believers to the bedrock of their faith, Jesus Christ. The radical notion of themelióō is to ground securely, providing a stable base for belief and practice. Peter assures that God will place suffering saints on a firm foundation, symbolizing a solid spiritual base that withstands the storms of life.
