Psalm 144:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 144:4

Man is like to vanity
Is vanity itself, in every age, state, and condition; yea, in his best estate, ( Psalms 39:5 ) ; or, "to the breath" F8 of the mouth, as Kimchi; which is gone as soon as seen almost: or, to a vapour F9; to which the life of man is compared, ( James 4:14 ) ; his days [are] as a shadow that passeth away;
as the former denotes the frailty and mortality of man, this the shortness of his duration; his days fleeing away, and of no more continuance than the shadow cast by the sun, which presently declines and is gone.


FOOTNOTES:

F8 (lbhl) "halitui", Muis; so Kimchi.
F9 "Vapori", Cocceius; so the Syriac and Arabic versions

Psalm 144:4 In-Context

2 Ele é o meu aliado fiel, a minha fortaleza,a minha torre de proteção e o meu libertador;é o meu escudo, aquele em quem me refugio.Ele subjuga a mim os povos.
3 SENHOR, que é o homem para que te importes com ele,ou o filho do homem para que por ele te interesses?
4 O homem é como um sopro;seus dias são como sombra passageira.
5 Estende, SENHOR, os teus céus e desce;toca os montes para que fumeguem.
6 Envia relâmpagos e dispersa os inimigos;atira as tuas flechas e faze-os debandar.
