Psalm 102

“But you, LORD, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations” (12). In this life we experience the “evening shadows” of suffering (11), and we may fear our days will be “cut short” (23). The psalmist cries for help amid his suffering because he knows that God “will respond to the prayer of the destitute” (17). He knows that God hears our groaning (19-20).

The God who was at the beginning, who “laid the foundations of the earth” (25), is involved for our good in the present moment and will be victorious God in the end (27). The final word on our suffering is in the hands of the Alpha and the Omega.
