Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

102:1-11 prayer="" of="" the="" afflicted,="" when="" he="" is="" overwhelmed,="" and="" poureth="" out="" his="" complaint="" before="" lord.="">102:1-11 The whole word of God is of use to direct us in prayer; but here, is often elsewhere, the Holy Ghost has put words into our mouths. Here is a prayer put into the hands of the afflicted; let them present it to God. Even good men may be almost overwhelmed with afflictions. It is our duty and interest to pray; and it is comfort to an afflicted spirit to unburden itself, by a humble representation of its griefs. We must say, Blessed be the name of the Lord, who both gives and takes away. The psalmist looked upon himself as a dying man; My days are like a shadow.</a>
