Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 90:7
"For we are consumed in thine anger,And in try wrath we are troubled. Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:We bring our years to an end as a sigh.The days of our years are three-score years and ten,Or even by reason of strength four-score years;Yet is there pride, but labor and sorrow;For it is soon gone, and we fly away.Who knoweth the power of thine anger,And thy wrath according to the fear that... read more

MOSES' PRAYER"So teach us to number our days,That we may get us a heart of wisdom.Hearken, O Jehovah; how long?And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.O satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness,That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,And the years wherein we have seen evil.Let thy work appear unto thy servants,And thy glory upon their children.And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us;And establish... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 90:3
Psalms 90:3. Thou turnest man to destruction— The sacred writer first puts the people in mind of the eternity of God, the never-failing refuge of his faithful servants in all ages; and this in a very noble strain of poetry: after which it follows in this verse, Thou wilt turn man: [Heb. דכא עד אנושׁ תשׁב tasheb enosh ad dakkaa. Make him return to the small dust;] and thou wilt say, Return, ye sons of men: This is literally the translation, and the sense seems plain and clear: "Though mortal man... read more

Psalms 90:5. Thou carriest them away as with a flood— Agreeable to the ideas in the foregoing verses, death is here considered as a sort of sleep; from whence they should awake in the morning, fresh and flourishing as an herb: and I think we have this image of a resurrection exhibited to us more than once in the prophets. Thou sweepest them away as with a flood; they shall be as a sleep: in the morning they shall be as the herb which renews itself. In this sense the verb ףּחל chalap, is used... read more
