Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:1-2

Psalms 90:1-2 Scripture certainly emphasises in many places the frail and fleeting aspect of life; the thought of man's mortality runs as a wail through many a psalm, and touches with pathos the heart of the prophet in his brightest visions. But then there is always in Scripture another side of the picture; and this is the higher, and in the sense of Scripture the truer, side. The good is the original, the substantive of which evil is the inversion. The good is being; the evil is but negation... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:1-17

Psalms 90:0 This Psalm sets out with the definite statement of a theologic doctrine: the doctrine of the eternity of God. I. This splendid thought of the Divine eternity is made to touch the shifting and inconstant character of our earthly state by the single word "dwelling-place." Here God's eternity opens itself to our needs. II. A correct view of the eternity of God conveys warning as well as comfort. (1) The eternal power of God convicts us of helplessness. (2) The eternal being of God... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Psalms 90:1

The Glorious Habitation October 14, 1855 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Lord thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations." Psalms 90:1 . Moses was the inspired author of three devotional compositions. We first of all find him as Moses the poet, singing the song which is aptly joined with that of Jesus, in the Revelation, where it says, "The song of Moses and of the Lamb." He was a poet on the occasion when Pharaoh and his hosts were cast into the Red Sea, "his chosen captains also... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 90:1-17

The fourth book of Hebrew psalms opens here. The characters of the composition are majestic and sublime beyond imitation. The Chaldaic says, that this was a prayer of Moses, when the Hebrews were cut off in the desert. See note on Psalms 90:10. Psalms 90:1 . Our dwelling-place, עון on, or as the Gothic, wone, to dwell, to inhabit, to co-inhabit: the reference is to the mercyseat. The LXX, Vulgate, and other Versions read, “place of defence,” or refuge; for in God is our refuge, even... read more

Psalms 90:1-17Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.The prayer of MosesThe propriety of the title is confirmed by the psalm’s unique simplicity and grandeur; its appropriateness to his times and circumstances at the close of the error in the wilderness; its resemblance to the law in urging the connection between sin and death; its similarity of diction to the poetical portions of the Pentateuch (Exodus 15:1-27; Deuteronomy 32:1-52; Deuteronomy 33:1-29), without the... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 90:1

1. Thou hast been our dwelling-place This is the proposition sustained throughout the first six verses. The mutable and perishable in man are contrasted with the immutable and absolute in God, in whose eternal years alone the flickering and crushed life of man finds refuge and stability. Especially does the Church find its life and perpetuation in the all-invigorating life of God; and Moses speaks from the heart of the Church. In all generations Literally, In generation and generation. ... read more
