Psalm 90:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 Return,[a] O Lord. How long must we wait?
Show compassion to your servants.
14 Fill us with your kindness in the morning[b]
so that we may exult and be glad all our days.
15 Grant us joy for as many days as you have afflicted us
and for as many years as we have known misfortune.

- Psalm 90:14 The psalmist prays that in the morning (the typical time for deliverance and salvation: see note on Ps 49:15) God’s love will put an end to the long night of their trial. The fulfillment of this prayer is found in the resurrection (see Rom 5:2-5; 8:18; 2 Cor 4:16-18). Kindness: see note on Ps 6:5.
