We do not know by whom or when the 102nd Psalm came to be, but we do know they were in pain. It appears it was personal pain from sin, and national pain from rebellion against God. Psalm 102 is considered one of the seven “penitent” Psalms, along with Psalm 6, 32, 38, 51, 130, and 143. Today in the midst of communion we come with penitence before our God, to acknowledge our sin, it’s consequence, and then to dive deep into God’s mercy and forgiveness.
