Psalm 102:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 102:1

Hear my prayer, O Lord
The prayer of a poor, destitute, and afflicted one; his own, and not another's; not what was composed for him, but composed by him; which came out of his own heart, and out of unfeigned lips, and expressed under a feeling sense of his own wants and troubles; and though dictated and inwrought in his heart by the Spirit of God, yet, being put up by him in faith and fervency, it is called his own, and which he desires might be heard:

and let my cry come unto thee;
he calls his prayer cry, because it was uttered in distress, and with great vehemency and importunity; and he prays that it might come unto God, even into his ears, and be regarded by him, and not shut out: prayer comes aright to God, when it comes through Christ, and out of his hands, perfumed with the incense of his mediation.

Psalm 102:1 In-Context

1 Salmo 102
Oración de quien está abrumado de problemas y se desahoga ante el Señor
.
S
, ¡oye mi oración!
¡Escucha mi ruego!

2 No te alejes de mí
en el tiempo de mi angustia.
Inclínate para escuchar
y no tardes en responderme cuando te llamo.

3 Pues mis días desaparecen como el humo,
y los huesos me arden como carbones al rojo vivo.

4 Tengo el corazón angustiado, marchito como la hierba,
y perdí el apetito.

5 Por mi gemir,
quedé reducido a piel y huesos.
