Psalm 102:27 NASB,NASB

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 102:25-28

From the apostle Paul's quotation of this glorious passage, Hebrews 1:10 , etc. and his illustration of it, as there explained, it should seem very evident that these verses contain God the Father's answer to Christ's prayer, and form a blessed summary of all redemption mercies ensured to the church in Him. And therefore the church may, with full assurance of faith, take to herself, and every individual of the church, with equal right in Christ, the whole blessings of covenant promises in... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 102:23-28

23-28 Bodily distempers soon weaken our strength, then what can we expect but that our months should be cut off in the midst; and what should we do but provide accordingly? We must own God's hand in it; and must reconcile this to his love, for often those that have used their strength well, have it weakened; and those who, as we think, can very ill be spared, have their days shortened. It is very comfortable, in reference to all the changes and dangers of the church, to remember that Jesus... 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

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 102:12-28

the Time to Have Mercy upon Zion Psalms 102:12-28 We must remember that the Holy Spirit appropriates the closing words of this psalm as addressed to our Lord. See Hebrews 1:10-12 . This gives new point to these petitions. The psalmist’s sorrows, described in the previous paragraph, had their source in the desolations of Zion rather than in personal afflictions; and when the soul feels such oppression, it is a sign that deliverance is near. Finney, the great evangelist, tells of a woman who... read more

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'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

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 102:1-28

INTRODUCTIONIt is impossible to determine on what occasion and by whom this Psalm was composed. Prof. Alexander and Hengstenberg regard it as a composition of David. But from internal evidence, especially in Psalms 102:13-22, we should conclude that it was written during the Babylonian exile, and probably near its close, when the faithful were animated by hopes of returning shortly to their own land. It has been attributed to Nehemiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, and others of the prophets of the period... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 102:1-28

Psalms 102:1-28 In Psalms 102:1-28 , David begins with a prayer asking God to hear his prayer.Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee. Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline your ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily ( Psalms 102:1-2 ).How impatient we are with God, and yet, how important it is to us that God is patient with us. Yet it seems that whenever I pray I want speedy answers from God. I, again, I can identify with David. I want... read more
