And let.
establish.
 “That the beauty of Jehovah, their God, should be upon them.” Their thoughts would hardly go beyond the manifest endowment of blessing from His own hand marking them His. With us how fully is it so! Shall not we be in the glory of Christ Himself? like Him arrayed in this blessed likeness before God our Father, a place of perfect delight? (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 90-93 by J.N. Darby)
 The blessing that is secured by God’s work must far transcend the requirements of our need, and the deliverance from sorrows by the way. (Psalms 90 by H. Smith)
