Psalm 148

Psalm 148:6
He has also established them forever and ever;
He has made a decree which will not pass away.
He's just finished listing off all the things that should be praising God:  the heavens, angels, sun, moon, stars, etc.  Now he's saying they've been established forever, and that they will not pass away.  Is this real or poetical?

If it's real, then it means that somehow the universe will still exist, even after the New Jerusalem.  But that would mean that our interpretation of Revelation is wrong.  If it's poetical, then I have to wonder if he's putting words in God's mouth?  Or was that end occurrence just not something he could comprehend?
