Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:3

Psalms 90:3 Two of the greatest lessons which Christ came to teach us were the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Look at man in himself, look at man as he makes himself by yielding to and aiding in the fraud and malice of the devil, and hardly any language can be too bitter to describe his baseness and his degradation.

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.

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

Psalms 90:3Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. Man’s thoughts of manI wish to point out our duty to the world of humanity; to the communities to which we belong; to the generation in which we live; to the great family of mankind, of which God has made us members.1.

Psalms 90:4For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. God’s estimate of time1. Let us set this truth before our minds: that which seems a long season to man seems a very brief season to God.(1) God has lived for ever. Farther back than our strongest thought can travel, farther back than our swiftest wing or fancy can fly, and there our God was. As a drop in the boundless ocean, so is a cycle of a thousand years in the view of Him who is... read more
