Context of Psalms 90:8
6In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth. 7For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy fury are we troubled. Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance. 9For all our days pass away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a [passing] thought. 10The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Commentaries on Psalms 90:8
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee - Every one of our transgressions is set before thee; noted and minuted down in thy awful register! Our secret sins - Those committed in darkness and privacy are easily discovered by thee, being shown by the splendours of thy face shining upon them. Thus we light a candle, and bring it into a dark place to discover its contents. O, what can be hidden from the allseeing eye of God? Darkness is no darkness to him…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee - Thou hast arrayed them, or brought them forth to view, as a “reason” in thy mind for cutting us down. Death may be regarded as proof that God has brought before his mind the evidence of man‘s guilt, and has passed sentence accordingly. The fact of death at all; the fact that anyone of the race dies; the fact that human life has been made so brief, is to be explained on the supposition that God has arrayed before…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-11Verses 7-11 The afflictions of the saints often come from God's love; but the rebukes of sinners, and of believers for their sins, must be seen coming from the displeasure of God. Secret sins are known to God, and shall be reckoned for. See the folly of those who go about to cover their sins, for they cannot do so. Our years, when gone, can no more be recalled than the words that we have spoken. Our whole life is toilsome and troublesome; and perhaps, in…Read the comment

Though "secret," the light of God's countenance, as a candle, will bring sin to view (Pr 20:27; 1Co 4:5).Read the comment
