Nottes on this verse:

Not the covenant at Sinai, as Aben Ezra, but the covenant of grace made with Christ, and which stands fast with him (Psalm 89:3). Which is firm, sure, and stable, and as immovable as mountains and hills, and more so (2 Sam. 23:5). Or “profane” it, though his people profane his statutes (Psalm 89:31). He will not profane his covenant; though they violate his laws, he is a God keeping covenant with them, and will not break his word with them.

“Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips”: Any promise of his, respecting either the temporal, spiritual, or eternal welfare of his people: or “not change”; as he changes not in his nature and perfections, nor in his love and affections, nor in his counsels and purposes. So neither in his covenant and promises, they are always the same, and have a certain and unchangeable accomplishment. There is a performance of whatsoever is spoken by the Lord (Luke 1:45).

This covenant that God is speaking of, is not a covenant that man has made. This is a covenant that God made. God speaks absolute truth. Once God has said something, it is fact, and He will not change it. The Word of God is true.
