Psalm 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.

Psalm 102:21 In-Context

19 Denn er schaut von seiner heiligen Höhe, und der HERR sieht vom Himmel auf die Erde,

20 daß er das Seufzen des Gefangenen höre und losmache die Kinder des Todes,

21 auf daß sie zu Zion predigen den Namen des HERRN und sein Lob zu Jerusalem,

22 wenn die Völker zusammenkommen und die Königreiche, dem HERRN zu dienen.

23 Er demütigt auf dem Wege meine Kraft; er verkürzt meine Tage.
