PA518 Psalm 90:1-17 mp3

Introducing the fourth, Numbers book of Psalms. We discuss the book of Numbers, the book of Israel “In the Wilderness,” and consider the corresponding subject matter of the fourth book of Psalms, focusing on the earth and God’s counsels and purposes regarding it. Then, we consider Psalm 90, a prayer of Moses the man of God. He prays on behalf of the elder, cursed generation in the wilderness, who are doomed to die there, as Moses himself will eventually. Yet the ultimate hope of this elder generation gleams dimly but brightly in the future, for they too will be resurrected from the dead, without which hope none of us would have any chance for a future. So we consider this important psalm, from which we too have much to learn.
