“For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. like: or, (as some read) into smoke”
Psalms 102:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 102:3
The imagery of days 'consumed like smoke' and bones 'burned as an hearth' conveys utter devastation and transience. Smoke (ashan) dissipates quickly, symbolizing life's brevity (James 4:14). The burning bones suggest intense suffering and fever. Yet this profound lament appears in Scripture to validate human suffering and point believers to eternal hope. Reformed theology affirms that God ordains suffering for sanctification (Rom 5:3-5), while Christ's sufferings guarantee our ultimate deliverance.
