Psalms 90:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 90:7

5 You carry them away like a flood;
^aThey are like a sleep.
In the morning ^bthey are like grass which grows up:

6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
In the evening it is cut down and withers.

7 For we have been consumed by Your anger,
And by Your wrath we are terrified.

8 ^aYou have set our iniquities before You,
Our ^bsecret sins in the light of Your countenance.

9 For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
We finish our years like a sigh.

10 The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

11 Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.

12 ^aSo teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

13 Return, O Lord!
How long?
And ^ahave compassion on Your servants.

14 Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
^aThat we may rejoice and be glad all our days!

15 Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us,
The years in which we have seen evil.

16 Let ^aYour work appear to Your servants,
And Your glory to their children.
