Psalm 102:17 NASB,NASB

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

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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 102:1-28

It appears from Psalms 102:13-16, that this psalm was written in Babylon, and near the time of the Jewish emancipation. It is highly prophetic of the greater deliverance by the Messiah, whose law should be published out of Zion, and the gentiles be converted to the Lord. It was probably written by Daniel, or Nehemiah. The title seems to have been prefixed by the author of the psalm, for it is copied by the Versions as it stands in the Hebrew. “A prayer of the afflicted when he is overwhelmed,... read more
