King James Translators' Notes

The days...: Heb. As for the days of our years, in them are seventy years

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

10. Moses' life was an exception (De 34:7).

it is . cut off-or, "driven," as is said of the quails in using the same word (Nu 11:31). In view of this certain and speedy end, life is full of sorrow.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

90:7-11 The afflictions of the saints often come from God's love; but the rebukes of sinners, and of believers for their sins, must be seen coming from the displeasure of God. Secret sins are known to God, and shall be reckoned for. See the folly of those who go about to cover their sins, for they cannot do so. Our years, when gone, can no more be recalled than the words that we have spoken. Our whole life is toilsome and troublesome; and perhaps, in the midst of the years we count upon, it is cut off. We are taught by all this to stand in awe. The angels that sinned know the power of God's anger; sinners in hell know it; but which of us can fully describe it? Few seriously consider it as they ought. Those who make a mock at sin, and make light of Christ, surely do not know the power of God's anger. Who among us can dwell with that devouring fire?

2 Kings 19:35 Then it happened that night that the angel of the LORD went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men rose early in the morning, behold, all of them were dead.

Job 20:8 "He flies away like a dream, and they cannot find him; Even like a vision of the night he is chased away.

Psalm 78:39 Thus He remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes and does not return.

Ecclesiastes 12:2 before the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are darkened, and clouds return after the rain;
