Psalm 90:12
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 90Meaning
Within “Wisdom for numbered days,” verse 12 turns reflection on mortality into prayer for wisdom: numbering our days should shape how we live; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.
Read carefully
Read Psalm 90:12 inside its literary unit and the movement of Psalm 90; its imagery and claims are constrained by that context.
Reflection
Respond to the verse's specific emphasis — turns reflection on mortality into prayer for wisdom: numbering our days should shape how we live — while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 90.
