Psalms 102:23 - Exposition

He weakened my strength in the way. The reading "my strength" ( כחי ) is greatly to be preferred to that of "his strength" ( כחו ), which cannot be made to yield a tolerable meaning. It is judiciously adopted by Professor Cheyne, who translates, "He has brought down my strength in the way," and explains "the way" as "the journey of life." So also Rosenmuller and Hengstenberg. He shortened my days; i.e. "made me grow old prematurely" (comp. Psalms 102:11 ).
