Psalms 102:21 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 102:21

To declare the name of the Lord in Zion
That is, that the prisoners and persons appointed to death, being loosed, might declare, in the church, what great things the Lord has done for them; and so speak well of his wisdom, power, grace, and goodness, in their deliverance; profess his name, and confess him before men, and express a value for his name, and show forth the honour of it, and seek his glory:

and his praise in Jerusalem;
the Gospel church state, the same with Zion; when it shall be the praise of the whole earth; then and there will those, that are delivered from the antichristian yoke, praise the Lord, sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, and glorify God for all that he has done for them.

19 "God looked out from his high holy place; from heaven he surveyed the earth.
20 He listened to the groans of the doomed, he opened the doors of their death cells."
21 Write it so the story can be told in Zion, so God's praise will be sung in Jerusalem's streets
22 And wherever people gather together along with their rulers to worship him.
23 God sovereignly brought me to my knees, he cut me down in my prime.
