INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 90 A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Here begins the fourth part of the book of Psalms, and with the most ancient psalm throughout the whole book, it being written by Moses; not by one of that name that lived in later times; nor by one of his posterity; nor by some one who composed it, agreeably to his words and doctrines, and called it by his name; but by that Moses by...
John Gill
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,.... The days of affliction are times of sorrow; and days of prosperity make glad and joyful; and the psalmist here seems to desire an equal number of the one as of the other; not that an exact precise number of the one with the other is intended; but that there might be a proper proportion of the one to the other; and commonly God...

The foregoing psalm is supposed to have been penned as late as the captivity in Babylon; this, it is plain, was penned as early as the deliverance out of Egypt, and yet they are put close together in this collection of divine songs.

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. “Balance our sorrows with an equal weight of joys.

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. Give us measure for measure — sweets in bounty, according to the bitterness.

Charles H. Spurgeon
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. This exposition consisted of readings from Psalms 90 and Psa_119:21-32.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. It is right, then, to pray for joy. Indeed, joy is so conspicuous a blessing to a Christian, it is so closely connected with the healthfulness of all his virtues that he should seek after it until he finds it.
