 Book 4, Series 2. Appendix Psalm. Messianic Psalm: His Anticipative Suffering in Gethsemane (Hebrews 1:10-12) (“The Placement of the Psalms in Prophecy” by B. Anstey)
 It applies especially to the Lord Jesus Himself, whatever occasion circumstances of individual sorrow may have furnished to its composition. The citation of it in Heb. 1 leaves no doubt as to this; and gives to the psalm a depth of interest which scarce another equals it in. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 102-106 by J.N. Darby)
 The eternal truth of the Lord's divine nature meeting the reality of His sorrows even unto death. Hence it is especially His Person which is the peculiar object of this psalm. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 102-106 by J.N. Darby)
 The psalm presents experiences of the Lord which may have been anticipated in spirit during His life, but were entered into in all their fullness in the garden of Gethsemane only. The sufferings of this psalm are not those felt by the Lord by reason of His treatment at the hands of men, though this is present to His soul; nor is it suffering in view of His expiatory work—bearing wrath and indignation from the hand of God—though this, too, is before Him. The psalm presents His own personal sufferings as identified with His suffering people. (Psalms 102 by H. Smith)
 (vv. 1-11) These verses present the identification of Messiah in spirit with the suffering remnant of His people Israel. It is the cry of “the Man of sorrows” in the day of distress. (Psalms 102 by H. Smith)
 With the coming of Christ to establish His Kingdom outlined in the previous series (Ps 94-101), this series {Psa. 102-106} gives the effects of the Kingdom being established in the hearts of redeemed Israel; namely, the overflow of their praise. But before their hearts are lifted up in song and praise they must learn the meaning of the sufferings of Christ on the cross. (Book 4. by B. Anstey)
 This psalm brings before us the complaint of the suffering Christ to God as “the Man of sorrows.” He sees Himself deserted by His followers (vs. 1-7). (Book 4. by B. Anstey)
