James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 102:1-28

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 102:3-11

I make no chasm in the reading of these verses, because they form together a complete detail of the state of the sufferer, and serve the better, in an united point of view, to interest our hearts in the perusal. Suppose, Reader, that you and I consider these words, as spoken by the prophet with reference to Jesus: we have several portions to the same effect, which the Holy Ghost hath explained by direct application to Jesus. See and compare Psalms 22:8 , with Matthew 27:43 ; Psalms 22:1 , with... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 102:11

Earth. There is no proportion between God's mercy and our crimes. (Calmet) --- Sins are perfectly washed away, (Worthington) and not barely covered, as the east cannot be the west. (Berthier) --- Sin remitted "sets for ever." (St. Augustine) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 102:1-11

1-11 The whole word of God is of use to direct us in prayer; but here, is often elsewhere, the Holy Ghost has put words into our mouths. Here is a prayer put into the hands of the afflicted; let them present it to God. Even good men may be almost overwhelmed with afflictions. It is our duty and interest to pray; and it is comfort to an afflicted spirit to unburden itself, by a humble representation of its griefs. We must say, Blessed be the name of the Lord, who both gives and takes away. The... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 102:1-28

Complaint of One in Great Trouble. A prayer of the afflicted, one in great misery and distress, when he is overwhelmed, Psalms 61:2, and poureth out his complaint, as from an inverted vessel, in a full stream, before the Lord. v. 1. Hear my prayer, O Lord, the Jehovah here named being the second person of the Godhead, as He was known and worshiped in the Old Testament also, Hebrews 1:10-2 Kings :, and let my cry come unto Thee, by removing all obstructions which would hinder its free... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 102:1-11

the Cry of the Afflicted Psalms 102:1-11 This is the fifth of the Penitential Psalms. Some hold that it is one of the later psalms, asking for deliverance from captivity; others, emphasizing certain Davidic characteristics, ascribe it to the hand of the royal psalmist. Its actual authorship, however, is of comparatively small consequence; the main thing is to notice what adequate expression it gives to the sorrow of an almost broken heart. The psalmist bases his cry for a speedy answer on... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 102:1-28

This is a song of faith triumphing over affliction. Beginning with a prayer for deliverance, and a statement of the circumstances of suffering in which he then was, together with a recognition of those sufferings as the chastisements of Jehovah (vv. Psa 102:1-11 ), it rises to a great song of hope in the consciousness of the eternity of God, and the consequent conviction of the restoration of His own people to favour and blessing (vv. Psa 102:12-22 ). Finally it returns to his own suffering,... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 102:1-28

CII. The title, which is unique in the Psalter, describes the contents of Psalms 102:1-1 Kings : very well. So far the Ps. is the prayer of a man in extreme affliction. The same may be said of Psalms 102:23 and Psalms 102:24 a. But the theme which occupies the rest of the Ps. is quite different and indeed contrary. The poet turns to the eternal life of Yahweh. He has already “ built up Zion” : His glory has appeared: not only the Jews but other peoples and kingdoms are to serve Yahweh. We may... read more
