Wesley's Notes

90:17 The beauty - His gracious influence, and glorious presence. In us - Do not only work for us, but in us,

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

17. let the beauty-or sum of His gracious acts, in their harmony, be illustrated in us, and favor our enterprise.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

90:12-17 Those who would learn true wisdom, must pray for Divine instruction, must beg to be taught by the Holy Spirit; and for comfort and joy in the returns of God's favour. They pray for the mercy of God, for they pretend not to plead any merit of their own. His favour would be a full fountain of future joys. It would be a sufficient balance to former griefs. Let the grace of God in us produce the light of good works. And let Divine consolations put gladness into our hearts, and a lustre upon our countenances. The work of our hands, establish thou it; and, in order to that, establish us in it. Instead of wasting our precious, fleeting days in pursuing fancies, which leave the possessors for ever poor, let us seek the forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance in heaven. Let us pray that the work of the Holy Spirit may appear in converting our hearts, and that the beauty of holiness may be seen in our conduct.


Psalm 27:4 One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple.
Psalm 37:23 The steps of a man are established by the LORD, And He delights in his way.
Isaiah 26:12 LORD, You will establish peace for us, Since You have also performed for us all our works.
1 Corinthians 3:7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. (NASB ©1995)
