How does Psalm 90 address God's anger and mercy?

Answered in 1 source

Psalm 90 acknowledges God's anger due to sin but also calls for His mercy and compassion toward His people.

Moses, in Psalm 90, recognizes humanity's sinfulness and God's rightful anger as he states that all our iniquities are laid bare before Him (verse 8). Despite this sobering acknowledgment of God's judgment and the reality that we face death because of sin, Moses pleads for God's mercy, asking Him to satisfy His people early with His lovingkindness (verse 14). This prayer illustrates the tension between divine judgment and the desire for mercy, ultimately reminding us that God's grace in Christ is our only hope of redemption and relief from His wrath.
