The Eternity of God, and Man’s Frailty (Notes from Psalm 90)

This Psalm reveals God as:
   -  The dwelling place of His people in all generation (:1)
   -  The eternal God.(:2)
   -  The Almighty.(:3)
   -  Compassionate, Merciful, (:13, 14)
   -  Glorious God (:16)


Man is compared to grass :
            In the morning they are like grass which grows up, flourishes and grows up;
            In the evening it is cut down and withers. (:5,6)

           Moses writes "You have set our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance." (:8)

Prayer :
      -  teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
      -  have compassion on Your servants.
      -  satisfy us early with Your mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
      -  Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, the years in which we have seen evil.
       -  Let Your work appear to Your servants, and Your glory to their children.
       -  let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
       - establish the work of our hands for us.  (:12-17)
