Berean Standard Bible

“So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.”

Psalms 90:12

Save as image

Study note

In Psalm 90, Moses has described human life as short, compared to grass that flourishes in the morning and withers by evening, and as full of toil and trouble. Having faced this sober reality, he turns it into a prayer.
