Psalms 102:23

“He weakened my strength in the way - Margin, as in Hebrew, “afflicted.” The idea is, that God had taken his strength away; he had weakened him - humbled him - brought him low by sorrow.

“He - God. The way - In the midst of the course of our lives. Some think the psalmist here speaks of the whole commonwealth as of one man, and of its continuance, as of the life of one man. Psalms 102:24”

“102:23-28 Although the psalmist suffers in the present, he bases his hope for the future on the Lord’s past faithfulness.”
