Ps 90 Although the Lord’s people have made their home in him for generations, their sin widens the gap between them and their infinite Lord. The Lord’s wrath against a person’s sin might last a lifetime and yet be only a taste of his displeasure with sin. This lamentable situation calls the community to seek the Lord’s light. Taking the first step means seeking restoration with the Lord on the basis of his compassion and love (90:13-14). He alone makes his servants glad and blesses their future generations (90:16-17). 90:title Moses led God’s people from slavery in Egypt to Mount Sinai, where he received the law and established God’s covenant with Israel. • the man of God: Moses enjoyed a special relationship with God (Deut 33:1). 90:1-2 The Lord becomes the home of the godly; he has provided shelter for countless generations. The word translated home is not used frequently in the Psalter. It describes a place of safety where the Lord meets his needy people and cares for them (68:5; 71:3).
