George Leo Haydock, on Ps 90:16

“I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.”

“Days. Eternity alone can satisfy the heart. — Salvation. Or Jesus, who promised to manifest himself, John xiv. 21, 25. (Berthier) — Abraham saw him afar off; Simeon at hand, John viii. 56., and Luke ii. 30. God insures the just a long life in this world, and an eternal one in the next. (Calmet) — That life is long enough which ends in happiness. (Haydock) Bible Text & Cross-references: The just is secure under the protection of God. 1 The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the Most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Heaven. 2 He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust. 3 For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word. 4 He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust. 5 His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night. 6 Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noon-day devil. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh to thee. 8 But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the Most High thy refuge. 10 There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling. 11 *For he hath given his angels charge over thee: to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon. 14 Because he hath hoped in me, I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him. 16 I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.”
