New English Translation
6 In the morning it glistens[a] and sprouts up;
at evening time it withers[b] and dries up.

we are terrified by your wrath.
8 You are aware of our sins;[d]
you even know about our hidden sins.[e]
Footnotes
- Psalm 90:6 tn Or “flourishes.” The verb is used of a crown shining in Ps 132:18. Perhaps here in Ps 90:6 it refers to the glistening of the grass in the morning dew.
- Psalm 90:6 tn The Polel form of this verb occurs only here. Perhaps the form should be emended to a Qal (which necessitates eliminating the final ל [lamed] as dittographic). See Ps 37:2.
- Psalm 90:7 tn Or “for.”
- Psalm 90:8 tn Heb “you set our sins in front of you.”
- Psalm 90:8 tn Heb “what we have hidden to the light of your face.” God’s face is compared to a light or lamp that exposes the darkness around it.
