Psalms 6:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? In death there is no remembrance of thee - Man is to glorify thee on earth. The end for which he was born cannot be accomplished in the grave; heal my body, and heal my soul, that I may be rendered capable of loving and serving thee here below. A dead body in the grave can do no good to men, nor bring any glory to thy name!
