Ps 102:1-28.
英文原文
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.
1-3. The terms used occur in
Ps 4:1; 17:1, 6; 18:6; 31:2, 10; 37:20.

保羅（來 1:10）引用
Ps 102:26-28
作為對基督在其神性中所說的話。本篇的範圍，如我們已見，非但不反對，反倒支持這觀點，特別是
Ps 102:12-15
的情感（參看 Isa 60:1）。在舊約作者心中，彌賽亞與教會未來榮耀之日的聯繫非常密切；而對祂本性的正確認識下，祂被稱為祂教會的主和元首——那位要成就他們所不斷以美好期待所盼望之榮耀未來的——是非常合宜的。
英文原文
23-28. The writer, speaking for the Church, finds encouragement in the midst of all his distresses. God's eternal existence is a pledge of faithfulness to His promises.
in the way--of providence.
weakened--literally, "afflicted," and made fearful of a premature end, a figure of the apprehensions of the Church, lest God might not perform His promise, drawn from those of a person in view of the dangers of early death (compare
Ps 89:47).
Paul
(Heb 1:10)
quotes
Ps 102:26-28
as addressed to Christ in His divine nature. The scope of the Psalm, as already seen, so far from opposing, favors this view, especially by the sentiments of
Ps 102:12-15
(compare
Isa 60:1).
The association of the Messiah with a day of future glory to the Church was very intimate in the minds of Old Testament writers; and with correct views of His nature it is very consistent that He should be addressed as the Lord and Head of His Church, who would bring about that glorious future on which they ever dwelt with fond delightful anticipations.
Ps 102:1-28.
困苦人發昏時的禱告等——這些概括性的用語似乎表明，本篇宜被視為能適切表達大衛任何一位敬虔關心教會福祉的後裔之憂慮。本篇可能出於大衛的手筆，雖是因某種特殊試煉而寫，卻描述了未來的時局。發昏——（參
Ps 61:2）。
吐露——即傾心吐意——
(Ps 62:8)。
哀訴——
(Ps 55:2)。
哀訴的語調占主導地位，雖然在神的應許與永遠的信實面前，有時也轉為信賴與盼望。
1-3. 所用的詞語見於
Ps 4:1; 17:1, 6; 18:6; 31:2, 10; 37:20。
