Psalm 90:13
“Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 90Meaning
Within “Mercy, joy, and established work,” verse 13 asks the LORD to turn toward his servants with compassion, beginning the psalm's movement from lament to petition; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.
Read carefully
Read Psalm 90:13 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 — asks the LORD to turn toward his servants with compassion, beginning the psalm's movement from lament to petition — while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 90.
