Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion
This phrase reflects a deep yearning for God's presence and favor at the start of each day. The "morning" symbolizes new beginnings and hope, suggesting that the psalmist seeks God's mercy and love as a foundation for daily life. The term "loving devotion" is often translated as "steadfast love" or "covenant faithfulness," highlighting God's unwavering commitment to His people. This echoes the covenantal relationship God established with Israel, as seen in Exodus 34:6-7, where God describes Himself as "abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness." The request for satisfaction implies a spiritual fulfillment that only God can provide, contrasting with the fleeting pleasures of the world. This longing for divine satisfaction is a recurring theme in the Psalms, such as in Psalm 63:1-5, where the psalmist expresses a thirst for God as in a dry and weary land.

that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days
The result of being satisfied with God's loving devotion is a life filled with joy and gladness. Singing for joy is a common expression of worship and gratitude in the Psalms, reflecting a heart transformed by God's grace. This joy is not dependent on external circumstances but is rooted in the assurance of God's presence and promises. The phrase "all our days" suggests a lifelong experience of God's goodness, reminiscent of the blessings promised in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 for obedience to God's commands. This enduring joy can be seen as a foretaste of the eternal joy believers will experience in God's presence, as described in Revelation 21:3-4, where God will dwell with His people, and there will be no more sorrow or pain. The joy and gladness mentioned here also point to the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who offers abundant life (John 10:10) and whose resurrection ensures eternal joy for His followers.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Moses
Traditionally attributed as the author of Psalm 90, Moses is a central figure in the Old Testament, known for leading the Israelites out of Egypt and receiving the Ten Commandments from God.

2. Israelites
The people of Israel, who experienced God's provision and discipline during their 40 years in the wilderness, are the primary audience of Moses' prayer in this Psalm.

3. Wilderness
The setting for much of Moses' leadership, the wilderness represents both a place of testing and a place of divine provision and presence.
Teaching Points
Daily Dependence on God
Just as the Israelites depended on manna each morning, we are called to seek God's loving devotion daily.

Joy as a Result of God's Provision
True joy and gladness stem from recognizing and experiencing God's faithful love and provision.

Morning as a Time for Renewal
Starting the day with God sets a tone of gratitude and joy, impacting our entire day.

God's Loving Devotion (Hebrew: "chesed")
This term encompasses God's steadfast love, mercy, and faithfulness, which are foundational to our satisfaction and joy.

Eternal Perspective
By focusing on God's eternal nature and promises, we find joy that transcends our temporal circumstances.(14) Early--i.e., in the morning of new hope and courage after the night of affliction is spent. (See Psalm 46:5.)

Verse 14. - Oh satisfy us early with thy mercy; literally, satisfy us in the morning with thy mercy; i.e. "after a night of trouble, give us a bright morning of peace and rest." That we may rejoice and be glad all our days; rather, and we will rejoice and be glad, etc.
