Significance: Applies creation psalm to Christ, establishing his role as creator and his immutability/eternality. Contrasts changeable creation with unchanging Christ. Critical for Christology—the Son created and transcends creation. The threefold contrast (they perish/you remain; they change/you are the same; they end/you continue) demonstrates the Son's eternal, immutable divine nature that categorically surpasses both angels and all creation.
Prosopological Shift: Speaker (suffering psalmist → God the Father); Auditor (Yahweh → the Son). What was originally the psalmist's lament directed to Yahweh as Creator and Immutable Lord becomes the Father's address to the Son in the same terms — the Son receives the praise originally addressed to Yahweh.
