Psalms 90:2-4 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Nothing within the compass of words can more strongly define the vast and immeasurable distance between the eternity of Jehovah and the vapourish life of man, than what these few verses express. The eternal and unchangeable existence of the Lord, how finely marked, from everlasting to everlasting; and with whom a thousand years, or a day, are the same. Reader, do not overlook the blessed truth contained in this view, at the same time, respecting the eternity of that salvation which is founded alone in Jesus. He that sitteth upon the throne, and createth all things new, is himself eternally and unchangeably the same in person, and in the efficacy of his redemption, the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Revelation 21:5; Hebrews 13:8.

Psalms 90:2-4

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
