John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

This prayer belongs to the faithful in Babylon's captivity, when deliverance drew near. They lament their afflictions, plead for the temple's restoration, and recall God's promises to steady their hope. The prophet shaped it as a form of prayer when the seventy years were nearly finished and comfort was about to break forth.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist @princeofpreachers

This shall be written for the generation to come. A note shall be made of it, for there will be destitute ones in future generations, —"the poor shall never cease out of the land, "—and it will make glad their eyes to read the story of the Lord's mercy to the needy in former times.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

My days vanish like a shadow, but You sit enthroned forever, Your remembrance burning through all generations. A man who loves God better than himself takes comfort here: though I die and my name sink into dust, Your church's interests are safe in hands that never fail, and deliverance for Zion must come.
