Ps 102:1-28. A Prayer of the afflicted, &c.--The general terms seem to denote the propriety of regarding the Psalm as suitably expressive of the anxieties of any one of David's descendants, piously concerned for the welfare of the Church. It was probably David's composition, and, though specially suggested by some peculiar trials, descriptive of future times. Overwhelmed--(compare Ps 61:2). Poureth out--pouring out the soul-- (Ps 62:8). Complaint-- (Ps 55:2). The tone of complaint predominates, though in view of God's promises and abiding faithfulness, it is sometimes exchanged for that of confidence and hope.

psalms 102:1 [A Prayer of the Afflicted, when he is faint, and pours out his complaint before the Lord]. Hear my prayer, O LORD! And let my cry for help come to Thee.
