Psalm 102 Bible study: But you are the same

The title names no one. It says whose prayer it is, and when: "A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before the LORD" (102:1) (tap overwhelmed, complaint). It names no author and no event, only a person and a moment. Then the prayer begins: "Hear my prayer, LORD! Let my cry come to you" (102:1), "Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call" (102:2). The one who prays speaks as "I", and what he says to the LORD is plain: "I forget to eat my bread" (102:4), "I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop" (102:7) (tap alone), "My enemies reproach me all day" (102:8), "I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears" (102:9).

Psalms 102:25→leads toHebrews 1:10-12

The psalm says to God, "Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands" (Psalm 102:25), "They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed" (Psalm 102:26), "But you are the same. Your years will have no end" (Psalm 102:27). Hebrews says God "has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son" (Hebrews 1:2), and after "But of the Son he says" (Hebrews 1:8) it gives these words too: "You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands" (Hebrews 1:10), "They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does" (Hebrews 1:11), "You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail" (Hebrews 1:12). Later Hebrews names him: "Jesus, the Son of God" (Hebrews 4:14). Hebrews doesn't name the psalm, and the WEB words the two differently: Of old, you and You, Lord, in the beginning,; work and works; you will endure and you continue; Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment and They all will grow old like a garment does; You will change them like a cloak and You will roll them up like a mantle; Your years will have no end and Your years won’t fail.

Strong's: "he (she or it); only expressed when emphatic or without a verb". Brown-Driver-Briggs lists among its uses "As an emph. predicate, of God". "But you are the same" (102:27): in Hebrew the words are ve'attah hu, and you and hu, the pronoun he. Where the LORD speaks of himself with the same pronoun, the WEB has I am he: "See now that I myself am he" (Deuteronomy 32:39), "I, the LORD, the first, and with the last, I am he" (Isaiah 41:4), and "I am he. I am the first. I am also the last" (Isaiah 48:12). Hebrews gives the psalm's words as "but you are the same" (Hebrews 1:12).
