Psalms 144:4 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Man is like to vanity (Hebrew, hebel (H1892 ), a vapour): his days are as a shadow that passeth away - (Psalms 62:9; Psalms 39:5-6; Psalms 102:11; Psalms 103:15.) There is nothing in frail and dying man to merit the favour of one so glorious and infinitely great as is Yahweh.

Psalms 144:4

4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
