Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 90:5-6

(5, 6) The following is suggested as the most satisfactory rendering of these verses: Time (literally, a year; but the root-idea is the repetition or change of the seasons) carries them away with its flood; they are in the morning like grass sprouting; in the morning it flourishes and sprouts, in the evening it is cut down and withered.This is obtained by taking the verb as third feminine instead of second masculine, and slightly changing the vowels of the noun rendered in Authorised Version... read more

Psalms 90:0 When we have passed that limit of age which Psalm xc. indicates as the most usual boundary of human life, the near horizons become for us those of the world beyond this present life. Ernest Naville to the Countess de Gasparin, La Comtesse Agénor de Gasparin et sa Famille, p. 426. Psalm XC. was read by the Rev. J. McCormick over the victims of the great Matterhorn disaster of 1865. The Prayer Book from which it was read was found on the body of the Rev. Charles Hudson, one of the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:1-17

Psalms 90:1-17THE sad and stately music of this great psalm befits the dirge of a world. How artificial and poor, beside its restrained emotion and majestic simplicity, do even the most deeply felt strains of other poets on the same themes sound! It preaches man’s mortality in immortal words. In its awestruck yet trustful gaze on God’s eternal being, in its lofty sadness, in its archaic directness, in its grand images so clearly cut and so briefly expressed, in its emphatic recognition of sin... read more

IV. THE NUMBERS SECTION: BOOK FOUR: Psalm 90-106 The Ninetieth Psalm begins the fourth book of Psalms, corresponding in different ways with the book of Numbers. It opens with the only Psalm written by Moses in the wilderness when the people were dying on account of unbelief, and is followed by a Psalm which shows the second Man, the Lord as the head of a new creation. In this book are found numerous millennial Psalms, showing us prophetically when under Christ, in the day when all things are... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 90:4

90:4 {e} For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.(e) Though man thinks his life is long, which is indeed most short, yet though it were a thousand years, yet in God’s sight it is as nothing, and as the watch that lasts only three hours. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 90:5

90:5 Thou {f} carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep: in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth up.(f) You take them away suddenly as with a flood. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:1-17

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

The Days of Our Years Psa 90:10 On hearing this statement some may wonder that so well-known a fact should be used as a text. It is just because it is so well known, and, indeed, so universally admitted, that we wish to see what practical use can be made of it. So far as the fact itself is concerned, there is no opposition or difficulty amongst us. We receive the text with an assenting sigh. We bow our heads in homage to the tyrant death, knowing that it is useless to bruise our soft hands... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 90:2-4

Nothing within the compass of words can more strongly define the vast and immeasurable distance between the eternity of Jehovah and the vapourish life of man, than what these few verses express. The eternal and unchangeable existence of the Lord, how finely marked, from everlasting to everlasting; and with whom a thousand years, or a day, are the same. Reader, do not overlook the blessed truth contained in this view, at the same time, respecting the eternity of that salvation which is founded... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 90:5-11

Here are several beautiful figures, illustrative of man's short and transitory state of existence: first, as a flood, whose tide never stops a moment from flowing, but sweeps everything before it: next, as a sleep, during which the man is unconscious of what passeth; for such is life, a dream, a fancy, an illusion: next, as grass, which, as the Psalmist saith elsewhere, withereth before it be fully grown up: next, as a tale that is told, meaning a mere voice, a breath, which, though heard, is... read more
