Psalm 90 Summary

Psalm 90, a prayer of Moses, contrasts God’s eternity with human frailty and asks God to teach us to number our days.

Moses reflects that God is ‘from everlasting to everlasting,’ while human life is brief, like grass that withers.

He prays, ‘Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom,’ and asks God to establish the work of our hands.
