Psalms 90:11
Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due.
BSB
ASV
Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?
KJV
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? - Who can measure it, or take a correct estimate of it, as it is manifest in cutting down the race of people? If the removal of people by death is to be traced to thine anger - or is, in any proper sense, an expression of thy wrath - who can measure it, or understand it?
Thy fear - According to the fear of thee; according to that fear which sinful men have of a just God. So - It bears full proportion to it, nay indeed doth far exceed it.
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Moses saw men dying all around him: he lived among funerals, and was overwhelmed at the terrible results of the divine displeasure. He felt that none could measure the might of the Lord's wrath. Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
