In the Old Testament, God's indignation and wrath are often depicted as responses to sin and disobedience (e.g., <a href="/deuteronomy/9-7.htm">Deuteronomy 9:7-8</a>). The psalmist acknowledges that his suffering is a result of divine displeasure, which aligns with the broader biblical theme that God disciplines those He loves (<a href="/hebrews/12-6.htm">Hebrews 12:6</a>). The historical context may relate to the Babylonian exile, a period when Israel experienced God's wrath due to their persistent idolatry and covenant unfaithfulness (<a href="/2_kings/24-20.htm">2 Kings 24:20</a>). This phrase also foreshadows the ultimate expression of God's wrath being satisfied through Jesus Christ, who bore the wrath of God on behalf of humanity (<a href="/romans/5-9.htm">Romans 5:9</a>).<p><b>for You have picked me up and cast me aside</b><br>This imagery suggests a sense of being uprooted and discarded, which can be seen as a metaphor for the exile experience or personal suffering. The psalmist feels abandoned, much like Israel felt during their captivity. This phrase can be connected to Job's lament (<a href="/job/30-22.htm">Job 30:22</a>), where he describes a similar feeling of being tossed about by God. The casting aside can also be seen as a type of Christ, who was rejected and despised by men (<a href="/isaiah/53-3.htm">Isaiah 53:3</a>) and experienced the ultimate forsakenness on the cross (<a href="/matthew/27-46.htm">Matthew 27:46</a>). Yet, through His resurrection, Christ demonstrates that what is cast aside by men can be exalted by God (<a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/102.htm">Psalm 102</a>, traditionally believed to be David or another figure experiencing deep distress and seeking God's intervention.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, whose indignation and wrath are acknowledged by the psalmist as the cause of his suffering.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_context_of_suffering.htm">The Context of Suffering</a></b><br>The psalmist is in a state of affliction, feeling abandoned and overwhelmed by God's anger.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_god's_wrath.htm">Understanding God's Wrath</a></b><br>God's wrath is not arbitrary but is a response to sin and disobedience.
