Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 90:16

"Let thy work appear unto thy servants, And thy glory upon their children." — Psalms 90:16 (ASV)

Let thy work appear unto thy servants— That is, your gracious work of interposition. Let us see your power displayed in removing these calamities, and in restoring to us the days of health and prosperity.

And thy glory unto their children— The manifestation of your character; the display of your goodness, of your power, and your grace. Let this spreading and wasting evil be checked and removed, so that our children may live, and may have occasion to celebrate your goodness, and to record the wonders of your love.
