ON “THREESCORE YEARS AND TEN”
The standard range of a normal lifetime alluding to 70 years, where a score is 20 years. In the light of human fleetingness, the psalmist urges individuals to trust in God for the enduring advantages. “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they are fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.” Psalm 90:10 KJV
