Psalm 90:7
βFor we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.β
KJV
Read in Psalm 90Meaning
Within βSin, wrath, and accountability,β verse 7 acknowledges life under divine anger, moving the psalm from mortality in general to moral accountability; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.
Read carefully
Read Psalm 90:7 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 acknowledges life under divine anger, moving the psalm from mortality in general to moral accountability β while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 90.
