Psalm 90:15
βMake us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.β
KJV
Read in Psalm 90Meaning
Within βMercy, joy, and established work,β verse 15 prays for joy proportionate to seasons of affliction, asking that suffering not have the final word; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.
Read carefully
Read Psalm 90:15 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 β prays for joy proportionate to seasons of affliction, asking that suffering not have the final word β while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 90.
