Psalm 103:16 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 103:16

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone
A stormy wind, as the Targum, which tears it up by its roots, or blows off the flower, and it is seen no more; or a blighting easterly wind, which, blowing on it, shrivels it up, and it dies at once; such an one as blasted the seven ears of corn in Pharaoh's dream, ( Genesis 41:23 ) or any impetuous, drying, and noxious wind: and so when the east wind of adversity passes over a man, his riches, and honour, and estate, are presently gone; or some bodily distemper, which takes away health, strength, and beauty, and impairs the mind; and especially death, which removes at once into another world.

And the place thereof shall know it no more;
the place where the flower grew shall know it no more; or it shall be seen no more in it: so man, when he dies, though he is not annihilated, he is somewhere; he is in another world, either of happiness or woe; yet he is not in this world, in the house and family, in the station and business he was; he is no longer known nor seen among men on earth; see ( Job 7:10 ) .

Psalm 103:16 In-Context

14 Él conoce nuestra condición;sabe que somos de barro.
15 El hombre es como la hierba,sus días florecen como la flor del campo:
16 sacudida por el viento,desaparece sin dejar rastro alguno.
17 Pero el amor del SEÑOR es eternoy siempre está con los que le temen;su justicia está con los hijos de sus hijos,
18 con los que cumplen su pactoy se acuerdan de sus preceptospara ponerlos por obra.
