Of the world. — Literally, of time. Heb., cheled, “that which creeps on,” an expression anticipating the New Testament use of world. (Comp. Job 21:7-14.)
Their portion in this life — contrasts with Psalms 16:5.
Thy hid treasure. — That which thou hast stored up, which is sometimes in a good sense (Psalms 31:19; Proverbs 13:22), sometimes in a bad (Job 21:19). But ought we not to translate —
“With thy treasure thou fillest their womb:
They are full of children.”
These two lines are thus in close parallelism, while the last clause of the verse, “and leave,” &c, answers to “which have their portion in this life.”
