"Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children" (Ps. 90:16)—Moffatt suggests the rendering: "Let thy servants see thee at thy saving work, and let their children see thy glorious power;" while Smith prefers: "May thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy splendor be upon their children."

"Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us" (Ps. 90:17)—The Hebrew term which is here translated "beauty" can also mean "pleasantness, favor, or delightfulness." Smith suggests the rendering: "May the favor of the Lord our God be upon us;" while Briggs prefers: "And let the sweetness of Adonay our God be upon us."
