Psalms 90 and 91 (Pt. 1).
Update: 2024-11-12
Description
I suggest that these psalms need to be read in tandem, much like Psalms 22 and 23 should be read in tandem. Psalm 90 purports to be a prayer of Moses. This is quite appropriate in that it accents Moses’ role as Israel’s mediator. Plus, Psalm 90 is the beginning of the 4th section of the Psalter. Curiously, Psalm 89 is a complaint against God for the Deity’s perceived breaking of the Davidic covenant. In Psalm 90, God asks Israel to “turn back,” or repent, and later Israel returns the favor by asking God to “turn back.” Though the prayer asks God to take pity on Israel, the gist is that God’s punishment has been sufficient and a change of divine demeanor is requested.
