These are the petitions of this prayer, grounded upon the foregoing meditations and acknowledgments. Isa. any afflicted? Let him learn thus to pray. Four things they are here directed to pray for:? I. For a sanctified use of the sad dispensation they were now under. Being condemned to have our days shortened, ?Lord, teach us to number our days (Ps. 90:12); Lord, give us grace duly to consider how few they are, and how little a while we have to live in this world.? Note, 1. It is an excellent... read more

O satisfy us early with thy mercy ,.... Or "grace" F7 חסדך "gratia tua", Cocceius, Gejerus, Michaelis. ; the means of grace, the God of all grace, and communion with him, Christ and his grace; things without which, souls hungry and thirsty, in a spiritual sense, cannot be satisfied; these will satisfy them, and nothing else; namely, the discoveries of the love of God, his pardoning grace and mercy, Christ and his righteousness, and the fulness of grace in him; see Psalm 63:3 , this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:15

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us ,.... The days of affliction are times of sorrow; and days of prosperity make glad and joyful; and the psalmist here seems to desire an equal number of the one as of the other; not that an exact precise number of the one with the other is intended; but that there might be a proper proportion of the one to the other; and commonly God does "set the one over against the other": there is a mixture of both in the believer's life,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 90:1-17

The psalm is termed, "A Prayer of Moses, the man of God." It is, however, only in part a "prayer," Meditation occupies the opening portion ( Psalms 90:1-6 ); complaint follows ( Psalms 90:7-11 ); it is only with Psalms 90:12 that prayer begins. (For the application to Moses of the phrase, "man of God," see Deuteronomy 33:1 ; Joshua 14:6 ; Ezra 3:2 .) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 90:1-17

The Lord our Dwelling place. There is no need to doubt the assigned authorship of this psalm. It is in entire harmony with the facts and surroundings of Moses' and Israel's life in the wilderness. Observe— I. THE BLESSED FACT . The Lord our Dwelling place, which this psalm tells of at its beginning. Weary wanderers as the Israelites were, with no settled resting place, here today, gone tomorrow, how blessed for them that there was refuge, a dwelling place, a home, in God! And... read more

Oh satisfy us early with thy mercy ; literally, satisfy us in the morning with thy mercy ; i.e. "after a night of trouble, give us a bright morning of peace and rest." That we may rejoice and be glad all our days; rather, and we will rejoice and be glad, etc. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 90:14

The secret of satisfaction. I. MAN CRAVES FOR SATISFACTION . He may have many advantages and gifts, much wealth, friends, health, and much beside; and these may divert, interest, and absorb him; but they cannot really satisfy. His soul will hunger still. II. GOD 'S MERCY ALONE CAN MEET THAT CRAVING . For: 1 . It puts out of the way all that hinders our satisfaction. The sense of guilt; the tyranny of sin; the burden of care; the fear of death. 2 . It... read more
