Psalms 90:11

Verse 11

11. Who knoweth Who considers. The word implies a knowledge which leads to the avoidance of the cause of divine anger.

The power of thine anger The effective force and terror of thy judgments.

According to thy fear According to the fear due to thee; or, according to the terror which thou hast at times inspired in men. See Psalms 55:5; Psalms 66:3; Psalms 66:5; Ezekiel 1:18; John 1:10; John 1:16. Compare Hebrews 12:21.

So is thy wrath So is the reality of thy judgments. “His terrors are not vain and empty; on the contrary, he will execute his threats on impenitent sinners, according as he has declared.” Phillips.
