The verses around Psalms 90:17.
15Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
17And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Verse explanation
Repeating “establish thou the work of our hands” twice reinforces the request: after a whole psalm about short, passing life, the last line begs that whatever people build have some permanence, given by God.
From the Psalms 90 study in Bible in Stories.
