A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
A Prayer of the afflicted, &c.--The general terms seem to denote the propriety of regarding the Psalm as suitably expressive of the anxieties of any one of David's descendants, piously concerned for the welfare of the Church. It was probably David's composition, and, though specially suggested by some peculiar trials, descriptive of future times. Overwhelmed--(compare Psa 61:2). Poureth out--pouring out the soul-- (Psa 62:8). Complaint-- (Psa 55:2). The tone of complaint predominates, though in view of God's promises and abiding faithfulness, it is sometimes exchanged for that of confidence and hope. (Psa. 102:1-28)

The terms used occur in Psa 4:1; Psa 17:1, Psa 17:6; Psa 18:6; Psa 31:2, Psa 31:10; Psa 37:20.

2 Bow down [05186] thine ear [0241] to me; deliver [05337] me speedily [04120]: be thou my strong [04581] rock [06697], for an house [01004] of defence [04686] to save [03467] me.

2 The LORD [03068] shall send [07971] the rod [04294] of thy strength [05797] out of Zion [06726]: rule [07287] thou in the midst [07130] of thine enemies [0341].

7 He shall drink [08354] of the brook [05158] in the way [01870]: therefore shall he lift up [07311] the head [07218].
10 And [2532], Thou [4771], Lord [2962], in [2596] the beginning [746] hast laid the foundation [2311] of the earth [1093]; and [2532] the heavens [3772] are [1526] the works [2041] of thine [4675] hands [5495]:
11 They [846] shall perish [622]; but [1161] thou [4771] remainest [1265]; and [2532] they all [3956] shall wax old [3822] as [5613] doth a garment [2440];
12 And [2532] as [5616] a vesture [4018] shalt thou fold [1667] them [846] up [1667], and [2532] they shall be changed [236]: but [1161] thou [4771] art [1488] the same [846], and [2532] thy [4675] years [2094] shall [1587] not [3756] fail [1587].

27 But thou art the same, and thy years [08141] shall have no end [08552].
7 Hear [06030] me speedily [04118], O LORD [03068]: my spirit [07307] faileth [03615]: hide [05641] not thy face [06440] from me, lest I be like [04911] unto them that go down [03381] into the pit [0953].
8 I am become a stranger [02114] unto my brethren [0251], and an alien [05237] unto my mother's [0517] children [01121].
10 In God [0430] will I praise [01984] his word [01697]: in the LORD [03068] will I praise [01984] his word [01697].
3 For thou art my rock [05553] and my fortress [04686]; therefore for thy name's [08034] sake lead [05148] me, and guide [05095] me.
17 Unto thee, O my strength [05797], will I sing [02167]: for God [0430] is my defence [04869], and the God [0430] of my mercy [02617].
9 Hide [05641] not thy face [06440] far from me; put [05186] not thy servant [05650] away [05186] in anger [0639]: thou hast been my help [05833]; leave [05203] me not, neither forsake [05800] me, O God [0430] of my salvation [03468].
3 For my days [03117] are consumed [03615] like smoke [06227], and my bones [06106] are burned [02787] as an hearth [04168].
3 For my soul [05315] is full [07646] of troubles [07451]: and my life [02416] draweth nigh [05060] unto the grave [07585].
7 Then the earth [0776] shook [01607] and trembled [07493]; the foundations [04146] also of the hills [02022] moved [07264] and were shaken [01607], because he was wroth [02734].
13 O spare [08159] me, that I may recover strength [01082], before I go hence [03212], and be no more.
