Psa 102:3 For my days are (c) consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

(c) These excessive kinds of speech show how much the affliction of the Church should wound the hearts of the godly.


Psa 102:4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget (d) to eat my bread.

(d) My sorrows were so great that I did not eat.


Psa 102:6 I am like a (e) pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

(e) Always mourning in solitude and casting out fearful cries.


Psa 102:8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that are mad against me are (f) sworn against me.

(f) Have conspired my death.


Psa 102:9 For I have (g) eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

(g) I have not risen out of my mourning to take my refreshment.


Psa 102:10 Because of thine (h) indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

(h) He shows that not only the afflictions moved him, but chiefly the feeling of God's displeasure.


Psa 102:12 But thou, O LORD, shalt (i) endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

(i) Though we are frail, yet your promise is sure, and the remembrance of it will confirm us forever.


Psa 102:14 For thy servants take pleasure in her (l) stones, and favour the dust thereof.

(l) The more the Church is in misery and desolation, the more the faithful should love and pity it.


Psa 102:16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear (m) in his glory.

(m) That is, when he will have drawn his church out of the darkness of death.


Psa 102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be (n) created shall praise the LORD.

(n) The deliverance of the Church is an excellent benefit, and therefore he compares it to a new creation for in their banishment the body of the Church seemed to have been dead, which by deliverance was as it were created anew.


Psa 102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are (o) appointed to death;

(o) Who now in their banishment could look for nothing but death.


Psa 102:22 When the people are gathered (p) together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

(p) He shows that Gad's name is never more praised, than when religion flourishes and the church increases: which is chiefly accomplished under the kingdom of Christ.


Psa 102:23 He (q) weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

(q) The church lament that they see not the time of Christ, which was promised, but have but few years and short days.


Psa 102:26 (r) They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

(r) If heaven and earth perish, much more man will perish: but the Church by reason of God's promise endures forever.


Psa 102:28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall (s) be established before thee.

(s) Seeing you have chosen your Church out of the world, and joined it to you, it cannot but continue forever: for you are everlasting.
