Psalm 102:25 NASB,NASB

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 102:25

The eternity of God looks both backward and forward, it is both without beginning and without end. The former is affirmed and illustrated Psalms 102:24,Psalms 102:26,Psalms 102:27, the latter is clearly implied in this verse. Thou hadst a being before the creation of the world, when there was nothing but eternity, but the earth and heavens had a beginning given them by thy almighty power. 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

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 102:25

25. Of old hast thou laid the foundations of the earth What is here affirmed of God, is, in the New Testament, quoted and affirmed of Christ. Hebrews 1:10. This is repeatedly done. Compare Jeremiah 17:10; Revelation 2:23. We are thus taught the personality and unity of the Father and the Son: “That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.” John 5:23. “For what things soever the Father doeth, these also doeth the son likewise.” John 5:19 read more
