18 Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the Lord:
18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.
18 Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord:
18 Write this down for the next generation so people not yet born will praise God:
18 This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.
18 Let this be recorded for future generations, so that a people not yet born will praise the Lord .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 102:18
Commentary on Psalm 102:12-22
(Read Psalm 102:12-22)
We are dying creatures, but God is an everlasting God, the protector of his church; we may be confident that it will not be neglected. When we consider our own vileness, our darkness and deadness, and the manifold defects in our prayers, we have cause to fear that they will not be received in heaven; but we are here assured of the contrary, for we have an Advocate with the Father, and are under grace, not under the law. Redemption is the subject of praise in the Christian church; and that great work is described by the temporal deliverance and restoration of Israel. Look down upon us, Lord Jesus; and bring us into the glorious liberty of thy children, that we may bless and praise thy name.
