Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 90:12-17

12-17 Those who would learn true wisdom, must pray for Divine instruction, must beg to be taught by the Holy Spirit; and for comfort and joy in the returns of God's favour. They pray for the mercy of God, for they pretend not to plead any merit of their own. His favour would be a full fountain of future joys. It would be a sufficient balance to former griefs. Let the grace of God in us produce the light of good works. And let Divine consolations put gladness into our hearts, and a lustre upon... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 90:1-17

The Mercy of God Man's Only Refuge. A prayer of Moses, the man of God, the prophet who stood in the relation of an intimate friend to the God of Israel, who here contrasts man's frailty, the consequence of his sin, with God's eternity. This psalm is the oldest which has been preserved in the Psalter, the occasion for its writing probably being the incident recorded Numbers 14:22-Isaiah :. v. 1. Lord, the Majestic, the All-powerful, Thou hast been our Dwelling-place, a safe Habitation of... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 90:1-17

the Message of the Passing Years Psalms 90:1-17 The majestic music of this great psalm separates it from all the rest. It is like the deep bass stop of a mighty organ. Moses’ authorship is stamped upon it. It is worthy of the man who had seen God face to face. Psalms 90:1-6 . The transitoriness of human life is contrasted with the stability of God. He is the asylum and home of all the generations of mankind, Deuteronomy 33:27 . The earth and its mountains the universe and its worlds, were... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 90:1-17

The main purpose of this psalm is revealed in the prayer with which it concludes (vv. Psa 90:13-17 ). This prayer is prefaced by a meditation on the frailty of man (vv. Psa 90:3-12 ), in the light of eternity of god (vv. Psa 90:1-2 ). By this backward method of analysis we gain a conception of the general scheme of the psalm which now enables us to take the three movements in their orderly sequence. The eternity of God is described in three stages. First, as measured by the history of His... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 90:12

So teach us, by thy Spirit and grace, as thou hast already taught us by thy word. Or, teach us rightly (as this word is used, Numbers 27:7; 2 Kings 7:9) to number, & c., as it follows. To number our days; to consider the shortness and miseries of this life, and the certainty and speediness of death, and the causes and consequences thereof. That we may apply our hearts unto wisdom; that we may heartily devote ourselves to the study and practice of true wisdom, which is nothing else but... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 90:1-17

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“A prayer of Moses the man of God.” “The Psalm is described in the title,” says Hengstenberg, “as a prayer. This description shows, as Amyraldus saw, that the kernel of the Psalm is the second part, and that the design of the first is to prepare the way for the second, and lay down a basis on which it may rest. For תְּפִלָּה denotes only prayer in the proper sense, supplicatory prayer.” On תְּפּלָּה as used hero Fuerst says: “תְפִלָּה is a peculiar kind of song in... read more

William Nicoll

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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:7-17

Psalms 90:7-17 I. In this passage we find: (1) an exercise of penitential faith or believing repentance; (2) an exercise of believing appropriation and assurance. II. The three petitions in Psalms 90:16 and Psalms 90:17 point to work or entering into work as being the peaceable fruit of righteousness. (1) The Lord's work comes first. These praying men of God, penitent and believing, ask Him to give them and their children a sight of that and an insight into its glory. (2) The second petition is... read more
