May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; This phrase is a plea for divine favor and blessing. In the context of Psalm 90, attributed to Moses, it reflects a deep dependence on God's grace. The "favor" of the Lord is often associated with His presence and approval, as seen in Numbers 6:24-26, where the Aaronic blessing asks for God's face to shine upon His people. The idea of God's favor resting upon His people suggests a continuous and abiding presence, reminiscent of the cloud and fire that guided the Israelites in the wilderness (Exodus 13:21-22). This favor is not earned but is a gift of grace, aligning with the broader biblical theme of God's unmerited favor towards humanity. establish for us the work of our hands— yes, establish the work of our hands!

Teaching Points Divine FavorGod's favor is essential for the success and fulfillment of our endeavors. We should seek His blessing in all aspects of our lives, recognizing that without His grace, our efforts are in vain. Purposeful Work The work of our hands is not just about productivity but about fulfilling God's purpose for our lives. We are called to align our efforts with His will, ensuring that our work has eternal significance. Dependence on God Just as the Israelites depended on God in the wilderness, we must rely on Him to guide and establish our paths. This dependence fosters a deeper relationship with God and a greater understanding of His plans for us. Legacy and Impact The establishment of our work by God ensures that it has a lasting impact. We should strive to leave a legacy that reflects God's glory and advances His kingdom.(17) Beauty.--Or, pleasantness. The Hebrew word, like the Greek ?????, and our "grace," seems to combine the ideas of "beauty" and "favour."Verse 17. - And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us (comp. Psalm 45:24, "Thou art fairer than the children of men;" Psalm 27:4, "To behold the beauty of the Lord;" Isaiah 33:17, "Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty"). The "beauty of God" is upon us when we see and realize the loveliness of his character. And establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. The repetition adds nothing, except it be emphasis. God is asked, finally, to "establish the work" in which his servants are engaged - to bless it; that is, to advance it and prosper it. The nature of the "work" is not mentioned.
