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 Como um pai tem compaixão de seus filhos,assim o SENHOR tem compaixão dos que o temem;

14 pois ele sabe do que somos formados;lembra-se de que somos pó.

15 A vida do homem é semelhante à relva;ele floresce como a flor do campo,

16 que se vai quando sopra o vento;tampouco se sabe mais o lugar que ocupava.

17 Mas o amor leal do SENHOR,o seu amor eterno, está com os que o tememe a sua justiça com os filhos dos seus filhos,
