Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 102:1

"Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And let my cry come unto thee." — Psalms 102:1 (ASV)

Prayer. —Like love and all emotion, prayer has its own language, and this assumes here the forms of expression that we encounter in other psalms. (See, e.g., in addition to the reference in the margin, Psalms 31:2; Psalms 39:12; Psalms 56:9; Psalms 59:16; Psalms 143:7.)
