Psalms 103:15 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Psalms 103:15 [As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

Ver. 15. As for man, his days are as grass] The frailty of man's life, intimated in the former verse, is here lively painted out under the similitude of grass, as likewise in many other Scriptures. See Psalms 37:2; Psalms 90:5,6, &c.

As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth] Take him in all his gaiety, his beauty, and his bravery, he is but as a flower; and that not of the garden, which hath more shelter and better ordering, but of the field, and so more subject to heat, weather, pulling up, or treading down, Isaiah 40:6,8 .
