King James Translators' Notes

it is...: Heb. it is not

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

103:15-18 How short is man's life, and uncertain! The flower of the garden is commonly more choice, and will last the longer, for being sheltered by the garden-wall, and the gardener's care; but the flower of the field, to which life is here compared, is not only withering in itself, but exposed to the cold blasts, and liable to be cropt and trod on by the beasts of the field. Such is man. God considers this, and pities him; let him consider it himself. God's mercy is better than life, for it will outlive it. His righteousness, the truth of his promise, shall be unto children's children, who tread in the footsteps of their forefathers' piety. Then shall mercy be preserved to them.


Job 7:10 "He will not return again to his house, Nor will his place know him anymore.
Job 8:18 "If he is removed from his place, Then it will deny him, saying, 'I never saw you.'
Job 20:9 "The eye which saw him sees him no longer, And his place no longer beholds him.
Isaiah 40:7 The grass withers, the flower fades, When the breath of the LORD blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. (NASB ©1995)
