Contemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:

Commentary, Psalm 90:12-17, Rolf Jacobson, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2009.

"...even the psalm's doubly repeated closing plea to 'prosper for us the work of our hands�O prosper the work of our hands' is not just a plea, but a promise. The promise that the work done by mortal hands here on earth can make a lasting difference, when the eternal one in heaven blesses it."

Psalm 90, The Dark Side of God: Considerations for Preaching and Teaching, Richard Nysse, Texts in Context, Word & World, Luther Seminary, 1997. (Section on this text begins on page 445.)

"The Aaronic blessing says, 'The Lord make his face to shine upon you...The Lord lift up his countenance upon you.' The Bible, however, recognizes some ambiguity in that metaphor, for God's gaze that protects is also a gaze that exposes."

"Coming Closer to Myself," The Journey with Jesus: Notes to Myself, Daniel B. Clendenin, Journey with Jesus Foundation.

"To what extent do your own life experiences resonate with Psalm 90?"

"Tough Times," Larry Broding's Word-Sunday.Com: A Lectionary Resource for Catholics.

Psalm 90- Place for Pessimism in A Psalm for All Seasons - Studies in the Book of Psalms by Robert L. Deffinbaugh at the Biblical Studies Foundation.

"It is only when our Lord returns that final time to rid the universe of all evil and to renew the heavens and the earth that the futility and frustrations of life will be removed."

Articles & Background:

"Praying the Psalms," Lawrence S. Cunningham, University of Notre Dame. Theology Today, 1989.

"In a doxological fashion, the psalms testify to the primordial truth of the entire biblical tradition. Negatively put, we are not condemned to complete autonomy. Positively put, we come out from God; we are sustained by God; and our proper destiny is to be with God."

"Singing with the Psalter," Michael Morgan, (other resources at) "Singing Our Lives," Christian Reflection, 2006.

"What sets the book of Psalms apart from the rest of Scripture is the sacramental nature of its songs, their ability to mold and transform the believer."
