Contextual Overview

⁶ God executeth iustice and iudgement: for all them that are oppressed with wrong. ⁷ He made his wayes knowen vnto Moyses: his workes vnto the children of Israel. ⁸ God is full of compassion and pitie: loth to be angry, and exceedyng great in mercie. ⁹ He vseth not to continue in chydyng: neither reserueth he [his anger] for euer. ¹⁰ He dealeth not with vs accordyng to our sinnes: nor rewardeth vs according to our wickednesse. ¹¹ For accordyng to the hyghnesse of heauen aboue the earth: his mercie preuayleth to them that feare hym. ¹² [Loke] howe farre distaunt the east is from the west: so farre a sunder setteth he our sinnes from vs. ¹³ Yea lyke as a father pitieth [his owne] children: euen so is God mercifull vnto them that feare hym. ¹⁴ For he knoweth wherof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust. ¹⁵ The dayes of man are as [the dayes] of an hearbe: he florisheth as a flowre in the fielde.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

As for man, his days are as grass,.... He himself is like the grass which springs out of the earth; continues on it for a time, and then drops into it; the continuance of the grass is very short, it flourishes in the morning, is cut down at evening, and withers; see

Psalms 90:5. As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth; which denotes the goodliness of man, and describes him in his best estate, as possessed of health, riches, honour, and all the gifts and endowments of nature; and yet, with all these, is only like a field flower, exposed to every wind, liable to be cropped by every hand, and to be trampled upon by the beasts of the field; and therefore flourishes not long: so very precarious and uncertain is man in his most flourishing circumstances; see Isaiah 40:6.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

As for man - literally, “Man; like the grass are his days!” The thought is fixed on man: man so frail and weak; man, not only made originally of earth, but man delicate, feeble, soon to pass away like the springing grass, or like the fading flower.

His days are as grass - See the notes at Psalms 90:5-6; compare Isaiah 40:6-8, notes; 1 Peter 1:24, note.

As a flower of the field - As a blossom. It opens with beauty and fragrance, but soon fades and perishes.

So he flourisheth - Rather, “So he blossoms.” That is, he is like a flower that is fresh and beautiful, and that soon withers away.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 103:15. His days are as grass — Psalms 90:5.
