Wesley's Notes

146:4 That day - As soon as ever he is dead. Thoughts - All his designs and endeavours either for himself or for others.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

146:1-4 If it is our delight to praise the Lord while we live, we shall certainly praise him to all eternity. With this glorious prospect before us, how low do worldly pursuits seem! There is a Son of man in whom there is help, even him who is also the Son of God, who will not fail those that trust in him. But all other sons of men are like the man from whom they sprung, who, being in honour, did not abide. God has given the earth to the children of men, but there is great striving about it. Yet, after a while, no part of the earth will be their own, except that in which their dead bodies are laid. And when man returns to his earth, in that very day all his plans and designs vanish and are gone: what then comes of expectations from him?


Psalm 33:10 The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
Psalm 104:29 You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their spirit, they expire And return to their dust.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.
1 Corinthians 2:6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; (NASB ©1995)
