Psalm for Today = 102:1-2
1 Hear my prayer, O Lord;
let my cry come to you!
2 Do not hide your face from me
in the day of my distress!
Incline your ear to me;
answer me speedily in the day when I call!
1 Hear my prayer, O Lord;
let my cry come to you!
2 Do not hide your face from me
in the day of my distress!
Incline your ear to me;
answer me speedily in the day when I call!

This psalm is a classic lament, "Hear my prayer, O Lord". The psalmist’s petition is
similar to that of Job…that the Lord would hear his prayer. Verses 3-11 poetically
outline the psalmist’s desperate and lonely situation about which he is praying.
As followers of Jesus, we can have even more confidence that God hears our
prayer than the ancient psalmist since our relationship with the Lord is based
on better promises (Hebrews 8:6). Yet he had amazing confidence in the Lord as
we can see in v. 12-17 “But you, O Lord…”
Questions:
What does the psalmist assert to be true about God in this
psalm?
So what will we testify in advance that God will do on our
behalf?
