Search The Scriptures —Study 79 — Psalm 102

Study 79 From the Book of Psalms is: Psalms 102


This psalm probably written towards the close of the exile (see verse 13 and cf. Je. 29:10; Dn. 9:2). A description of the present distress (verses 1-11) is followed by a vision of a restored Zion (verses 12-22). The closing verses record the psalmist’s assurance of the changeless character of God (verses 23-28).
  1. What does this psalm teach us to do in time of trouble? See the title, and cf. Ps. 62:8.
  2. ‘For I… but thou’ (verses 9-12). Contrast with the extreme misery of verses 1-11 the vision of faith in verses 12-28. What has happened? Where is your gaze fixed—upon earth’s sorrows, or upon God? Cf. 2 Cor. 4:8, 9, 18.
Note. Verses 19, 20. Cf. Ex. 3:7, 8. As then, so now.
