  2. Psalm 90:Background • Psalm 90 is attributed to Moses • Theme: God’s eternity versus man’s brevity • The eternity of God (vv. 1-2) • The brevity of man (vv. 3-11) • The conclusion (v. 12)

  3. “So teach us…” • “So teach us…” = a conclusion; an application • Since God is eternal and man’s life is brief, we need to be taught something (v. 12) • Since God’s wrath will be upon the sins of man, we need to be taught something (v. 12; note that Moses witnessed the wrath of God firsthand throughout is life)

  4. “To number our days…” • Their brief number (v. 10; 1 Chron. 29:15; Job 8:9; Jas. 4:12-14) • How many of them are already spent (Rom. 13:11; 2 Pet. 1:14) • How uncertain the number remains • How many of them are occupied with the necessary duties of life

  5. “To number our days…” • What afflictions may accompany them (Job 1) • What effect sin may have on them (Heb. 12;17) • How they appear in the light of eternity (Lk. 16:19-26) • How we might use them for the Lord (Lk. 1:75)

  6. “That we may get a heart of wisdom…” • In our work (Prov. 6:6-11; 20:4) • In our money (Prov. 22:7) • In our time (2 Cor. 6:1; Eph. 5:16-17) • In our associations (1 Cor. 15:33; Col. 4:5) • In the church (1 Cor. 11:22)

  7. “That we may get a heart of wisdom…” • In our marriage (Eccl. 9:9; Prov. 31:12) • In our service to God (Psa. 23:6; 27:4)
