The Lord Will

Psalm 90:15

β€œMake us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 90

Meaning

Within β€œMercy, joy, and established work,” 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.
