I said Within myself; I concluded, in the cutting off of my days When my days were cut off by the sentence of God, related Isaiah 38:1; I shall go to the gates of the grave I perceive that I must die without any hopes of prevention. The grave is called man's long home, Ecclesiastes 12:5; and the house appointed for all living, Job 30:23; and death opens the gates of this house. I am deprived of the residue of my years Which I might have lived according to the common course of nature, and of God's dispensations; and which I hoped to live for the service of God and of my generation. I shall not see the Lord I shall not behold his beauty and glory as he manifests them in his temple, in his oracles and ordinances; I shall not enjoy him: for seeing is frequently put for enjoying; even the Lord in the land of the living In this world, which is often so called; which limitation is prudently added, to intimate that he expected to see God in another place and manner, on the other side death; but he despairs of seeing him any more on this side death, as he had seen him in the sanctuary, Psalms 63:2. I shall behold man no more. &c. I shall have no more society with men upon earth. Many good men, under the law, had but imperfect notions of a future state, and thought it a great unhappiness to be deprived, by death, of the communion of saints here upon earth. But by not seeing the Lord in the land of the living, Hezekiah might probably mean that he should not see the effects of God's grace and goodness in the deliverance of his people.
