Psalm 90:14
“O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 90Meaning
Within “Mercy, joy, and established work,” verse 14 asks to be satisfied early with God's steadfast love so brief lives may still be filled with durable joy; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.
Read carefully
Read Psalm 90:14 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 to be satisfied early with God's steadfast love so brief lives may still be filled with durable joy — while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 90.
