Psalm 103:15

Listen to Psalm 103:15
15 I giorni dell’uomo son come l’erba; Egli fiorisce come il fiore del campo.

Psalm 103:15 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 103:15

As for man, his days are as grass
He himself is like the grass which springs out of the earth; continues on it for a time, and then drops into it; the continuance of the grass is very short, it flourishes in the morning, is cut down at evening, and withers; see ( Psalms 90:5 Psalms 90:6 ) . As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth; which denotes the goodliness of man, and describes him in his best estate, as possessed of health, riches, honour, and all the gifts and endowments of nature; and yet, with all these, is only like a field flower, exposed to every wind, liable to be cropped by every hand, and to be trampled upon by the beasts of the field; and therefore flourishes not long: so very precarious and uncertain is man in his most flourishing circumstances; see ( Isaiah 40:6-8 ) .

Psalm 103:15 In-Context

13 Come un padre è pietoso inverso i figliuoli, Così è il Signore pietoso inverso quelli che lo temono.
14 Perciocchè egli conosce la nostra natura; Egli si ricorda che noi siamo polvere.
15 I giorni dell’uomo son come l’erba; Egli fiorisce come il fiore del campo.
16 Il quale, se un vento gli passa sopra, non è più; E il suo luogo non lo riconosce più.
17 Ma la benignità del Signore è di secolo in secolo Sopra quelli che lo temono; E la sua giustizia sopra i figliuoli de’ figliuoli,
