Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 90:7-11

Moses had, in the Ps. 90:1-6, lamented the frailty of human life in general; the children of men are as a sleep and as the grass. But here he teaches the people of Israel to confess before God that righteous sentence of death which they were under in a special manner, and which by their sins they had brought upon themselves. Their share in the common lot of mortality was not enough, but they are, and must live and die, under peculiar tokens of God's displeasure. Here they speak of themselves:... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 90:12-17

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:11

Who knoweth the power of thine anger ?.... Expressed in his judgments on men: as the drowning of the old world, the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah, the consumption of the Israelites in the wilderness; or in shortening the days of men, and bringing them to the dust of death; or by inflicting punishment on men after death; they are few that take notice of this, and consider it well, or look into the causes of it, the sins of men: such as are in hell experimentally know it; but men on earth,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:12

So teach us to number our days ,.... Not merely to count them, how many they are, in an arithmetical way; there is no need of divine teachings for that; some few instructions from an arithmetician, and a moderate skill in arithmetic, will enable persons not only to count the years of their lives, but even how many days they have lived: nor is this to be understood of calculating or reckoning of time to come; no man can count the number of days he has to live; the number of his days, months,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:13

Return, O Lord ,.... Either from the fierceness of thine anger, according to Aben Ezra and Jarchi; of which complaint is made, Psalm 90:7 , or unto us, from whom he had departed; for though God is everywhere, as to his being and immensity, yet, as to his gracious presence, he is not; and where that is, he sometimes withdraws it; and when he visits again with it, be may be said to return; and when he returns, he visits with it, and which is here prayed for; and designs a manifestation of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 90:11

Who knoweth the power of thine angers - The afflictions of this life are not to be compared to the miseries which await them who live and die without being reconciled to God, and saved from their sins. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 90:12

So teach us to number our days - Let us deeply consider our own frailty, and the shortness and uncertainty of life, that we may live for eternity, acquaint ourselves with thee and be at peace; that we may die in thy favor and live and reign with thee eternally. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 90:13

Return, O Lord, how long? - Wilt thou continue angry with us for ever? Let it repent thee - הנחם hinnachem , be comforted, rejoice over them to do them good. Be glorified rather in our salvation than in our destruction. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 90:11

Verse 11 11.Who knoweth, the power of thy anger? Moses again returns to speak of the peculiar afflictions of the Israelites; for he had also on this occasion complained before of the common frailty and miseries of mankind. He justly exclaims that the power of God’s wrath is immeasurably great. So long as God withholds his hand, men wantonly leap about like runaway slaves, who are no longer afraid at the sight of their master; nor can their rebellious nature be reduced to obedience in any other... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 90:12

Verse 12 12.Teach us so to number our days. Some translate to the number of our days, which gives the same sense. As Moses perceived that what he had hitherto taught is not comprehended by the understandings of men until God shine upon them by his Spirit, he now sets himself to prayer. It indeed seems at first sight absurd to pray that we may know the number of our years. What? since even the strongest scarcely reach the age of fourscore years, is there any difficulty in reckoning up so small a... read more
