Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:11

Psalms 90:11 I. When I consider the difficulties which lie in the way of our measuring the anger of God, I conclude that it is chiefly His steady and orderly goodness which has thrust His displeasure out of sight. So far as one can see from the present arrangements of the world, it is God's way to withdraw for the most part from our view the sterner features of His character, while He puts forward and emphasises everywhere His gracious and fruitful goodness. (1) The mere power or strength of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:12

Psalms 90:12 (with 2 Kings 20:11 ) The Bible is God's dial, by which we have to measure life. I. The dial must be so placed as to receive the rays of the sun. Every line will then come into use. II. The dial of Ahaz was a public instrument intended for all the people of Jerusalem. The Bible is for all. III. Clouds would sometimes obscure the sun, and then the dial of Ahaz was in shadow. Clouds sometimes come between the mind and God's book, but the Sun of righteousness never sets, and there... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:16

Psalms 90:16 This Psalm has a threefold interest: of subject, of authorship, and of association. It touches the most solemn, most momentous, most affecting point in the life of man. Its author is "Moses the man of God." It has been heard by us when standing in the presence of death. I. The words of the text are in substance the prayer of Moses in Exodus, "I beseech Thee, show me Thy glory." They find their echo in Philip's prayer on the night of the Passion, "Lord, show us the Father." They are... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:16-17

Psalms 90:16-17 I. The prayer of the Psalmist is not the prayer of the wearied, disappointed prophet, "It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life," but the prayer of one who looks forward, of one who would fain build what will be continued by them that come after. "Show Thy servants Thy work, and their children Thy glory." Amid all that is fleeting and perishable, make us to know what Thou doest; and for our children we can ask no richer gift. The work of God is the glory of God. II. The... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 90:17

Psalms 90:17 I. What is the beauty of God? The excellence of His character. The meaning of all beauty is to image the holiness and excellence of God. The perception of beauty has been given us not, as some suppose, for enjoyment merely, but to bind us to the infinite, to make it more difficult for man to lose himself in time and sense, and to woo him to a heavenly perfection. The beauty of God is His love, mercy, patience, faithfulness. The justice of God, too, which may well appear to sinful... read more

DISCOURSE: 651GOD’S ANGER A REASON FOR TURNING TO HIMPsalms 90:11-12. Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.THIS psalm is entitled, “A prayer of Moses the man of God.” It seems to have been written by Moses on account of the judgment denounced against the whole nation of Israel, that they should die in the wilderness [Note: ver. 3.]. It had been already executed to a great... read more

DISCOURSE: 652SATISFACTION IN GOD ALONEPsalms 90:14. O satisfy us early with thy mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days!WE are told, on most unquestionable authority, that “godliness is profitable unto all things, having the promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come [Note: 1 Timothy 4:8.].” We are further assured, that “its ways are ways of pleasantness, and all its paths are peace [Note: Proverbs 3:17.].” This was the conviction of Moses, when he penned this... read more

DISCOURSE: 653THE BEAUTY OF JEHOVAH IMPARTED TO HIS PEOPLEPsalms 90:17. Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us!IT is pleasing to think that in every age the Lord has many “hidden ones:” even as in the days of Elijah, who thought himself the only worshipper of Jehovah, whilst there were in reality “seven thousand men who had not bowed their knee to the image of Baal.” It is not every one who dies apparently under the displeasure of God, that will be visited with his judgments in the world... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Psalms 90:1

The Glorious Habitation October 14, 1855 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Lord thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations." Psalms 90:1 . Moses was the inspired author of three devotional compositions. We first of all find him as Moses the poet, singing the song which is aptly joined with that of Jesus, in the Revelation, where it says, "The song of Moses and of the Lamb." He was a poet on the occasion when Pharaoh and his hosts were cast into the Red Sea, "his chosen captains also... read more
