The Lord Will

Psalm 102:10

β€œBecause of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 102

Meaning

The speaker voices a theological interpretation from inside lament. Readers should not generalize this into a rule that suffering proves divine anger.

The afflicted person pours out grief

Urgent petitions and images of weakness, isolation, humiliation, grief, and mortality.

Read carefully

The verse records one sufferer's lament and does not establish a universal causal rule.

Reflection

Bring that interpretation honestly before God.
