Psalms 111:8Sefaria

סְמוּכִ֣ים לָעַ֣ד לְעוֹלָ֑ם עֲ֝שׂוּיִ֗ם בֶּאֱמֶ֥ת וְיָשָֽׁר׃

God's commandments possess an eternal, unshakable stability. Their inner perfection guarantees that they will endure forever. The primary approach among commentators is that these divine laws rest on a solid, unyielding foundation, ensuring they will never be canceled. God Himself actively supports and sustains them for all of eternity [אבן עזרא]. Because the laws are so deeply grounded, those who walk in their path are also protected from stumbling [רד״ק]. On a more personal level, these commandments are firmly fixed within the hearts of believers, safe from any risk of collapse or doubt [מאירי]. Taking a broader view, the commandments serve as the very pillars of creation, acting as the structural foundation upon which the entire world is supported and maintained [מלבי״ם].

Beyond their spiritual and cosmic stability, the arrangement of the laws provides its own reinforcement. The sections of the Torah were recorded in a deliberate order so that deeper rules could be derived from their physical closeness to one another. Furthermore, the commandments are solidly backed by a clear system of warnings and consequences [רש״י, תורה תמימה].

There is a core reason why God's mandates last forever. Their everlasting nature is a direct result of being crafted in absolute truth and uprightness. Because these laws are built entirely on a true and straight path, there is simply no reason or possibility for them to ever be abolished [מצודת דוד, רד״ק, אלשיך].
