Context — The Prayer of the Afflicted
8All day long my enemies taunt me; they ridicule me and curse me.
9For I have eaten ashes like bread and mixed my drink with tears
10because of Your indignation and wrath, for You have picked me up and cast me aside.
11My days are like lengthening shadows, and I wither away like grass. 12But You, O LORD, sit enthroned forever; Your renown endures to all generations.Cross References

Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquities and giving attention to Your truth.

Psalms 102:10 Summary
This verse means that the psalmist feels like God is angry with them and has lifted them up only to throw them away. But even in this feeling of rejection, the psalmist is acknowledging that God's actions are just and right, as seen in Psalms 119:75. It's a reminder that God's love and wrath are not opposites, but are both part of His character, as seen in Psalms 103:8-10. We can learn to trust God even when we feel like we're being 'cast aside', knowing that He is always working for our good, as promised in Romans 8:28.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be 'picked up and cast aside' by God?
This phrase suggests a sense of being lifted up and then rejected or discarded by God, which can be a difficult and painful experience, as expressed in Psalms 102:10, but it can also be a call to humility and recognition of our dependence on God, as seen in Psalms 138:8.
Is God's wrath and indignation the same as human anger?
No, God's wrath and indignation are a righteous response to sin and rebellion, as seen in Romans 1:18, whereas human anger is often selfish and unrighteous, as warned against in Ephesians 4:26-27.
How can we reconcile God's love with His indignation and wrath?
God's love and wrath are not mutually exclusive, as seen in Psalms 103:8-10, where God's love and compassion are balanced with His holiness and justice, demonstrating that His wrath is a necessary response to sin in order to maintain His holy character.
What can we learn from the psalmist's experience of being cast aside by God?
The psalmist's experience teaches us that even in times of feeling rejected or abandoned by God, we can still trust in His sovereignty and goodness, as expressed in Psalms 23:4 and Romans 8:28, and that our feelings do not define God's character or love for us.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I have felt 'picked up and cast aside' in my life, and how can I trust God in those moments?
- How do I reconcile the tension between God's love and His wrath in my own life, and what does this mean for my relationship with Him?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to surrender to God's sovereignty and trust in His goodness, even when I don't understand His ways?
- How can I balance my desire for God's comfort and protection with the reality of His holiness and justice, and what does this mean for my daily walk with Him?
Gill's Exposition on Psalms 102:10
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath,.... This was the burden of his complaint, what gave him the greatest uneasiness; not so much the reproach of his enemies, and his other outward
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 102:10
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 102:10
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath; because I do not only conflict with men, but with the Almighty God, and with his anger. For thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down; as a man lifts up a person or thing as high as he can, that he may cast it down to the ground with greater force. Or he aggravates his present reproach and misery by the consideration of that great honour and happiness to which God had formerly advanced him, as Job did, Job 29 Job 30, and the church, .
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 102:10
Psalms 102:10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.Ver. 10. Because of thine indignation] This lay heavier upon the good man’ s heart than all the rest, God was displeased. For thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down] That is, that I might fall with the greater poise. Significatur gravissima collisio. De coelo in terram (R. Solom.). Here the prophet accuseth not God of cruelty, but bewaileth his own misery. Miserum est fuisse felicem, It is no small unhappiness to have been happy.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 102:10
(10) Indignation and thy wrath.—Comp. Psalms 90:7. The last part of the clause is a figure taken from the action of a whirlwind. (Comp. Job 27:20-21; Job 30:22.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 102:10
Verse 10. For thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.] Thou hast lifted me on high, that thou Lightest dash me down with the greater force. We were exalted in thy favour beyond any people, and now thou hast made us the lowest and most abject of the children of men.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 102:10
10. This suffering is the punishment of sin. The storm of God’s wrath has swept Israel away from its own land, and flung it down helpless in the land of exile. Thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down (A.V.) has been taken to mean that the bitterness of Israel’s present humiliation is intensified by the recollection of its past exaltation (cp. Lamentations 2:1), but it suits the context better to render For thou hast taken me up and flung me away, a metaphor from a hurricane. Cp. Job 27:21; Job 30:22; Isaiah 64:6. The same word is used of the banishment of Israel in Jeremiah 7:15, &c.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 102:10
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath - Hebrew, “From the face of thine indignation,” etc. That is - he regarded all his sufferings as proof of the indignation and wrath of God against him. See Psalms 90:7-9.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 102:10
10. Lifted me up, and cast me down—Both honour and shame, prosperity and adversity, are from God; the one, the reward of obedience; the other, the punishment of sin. This was true of the nation.
