“To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; those: Heb. the children of death”
Psalms 102:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 102:20
Hearing prisoners' groaning and loosing those 'appointed to death' demonstrates God's concern for the condemned and hopeless. The Hebrew 'sons of death' (benei temutah) refers to those under death sentence. This liberation imagery points to Christ's ministry of releasing captives (Luke 4:18-19) and ultimately delivering believers from sin's condemnation and death's power. The Reformed understanding of humanity's bondage to sin recognizes that all people are prisoners needing divine liberation, which comes only through Christ's atoning work.
