“Hear My Prayer, O Lord, . . . for My Days Are Consumed Like Smoke”
(See Psalm 102:1–28.)
Dr. Ellis T. Rasmussen wrote:
“This psalm is a Job-like supplication in the first half, speaking not only of a time of personal suffering but also a time of national suffering in exile when Israel longed to return to Zion. It is a prayer that the people shall be gathered together and shall serve the Lord in His glory. Then the seed of the Lord’s servants shall be established in His presence.”
(A Latter-day Saint Commentary on the Old Testament [1993], 448.)
