Contextual Overview

38 But thou hast abhorred & forsake thine annoynted: & art sore displeased at him. 39 Thou hast broken the couenaunt of thy seruaunt: thou hast disgraced his crowne, [castyng it] on the grounde. 40 Thou hast ouerthrowe all his walles: and broken downe his strong holdes. 41 All they that go by the way spoyle hym: he is become a rebuke vnto his neyghbours. 42 Thou hast exalted the ryght hande of his enemies: and made all his aduersaries to reioyce. 43 Thou hast turned the harde edge of his sworde: and thou hast not lifted him vp in the battayle. 44 Thou hast brought his noble estate to an ende: and hast cast his throne downe to the grounde. 45 Thou hast shortened the dayes of his youth: and thou hast couered him with shame. Selah. 46 O God howe long wylt thou hyde thy selfe? for euer? shall thy wrath burne lyke fire? 47 Remember what I am, howe short my tyme is of lyfe: wherfore hast thou created in vayne all the sonnes of men?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death?.... Every living man must die; as sure as a man lives, so sure he shall die: be he strong and mighty, as the word signifies, or weak and sickly; be he high or low, rich or poor, prince or peasant, righteous or wicked; persons of all ranks, states, and conditions, age or sex, must die; for all have sinned; and it is the appointment of God that they should die, and very few are the exceptions; as Enoch and Elijah, and those that will be found alive at Christ's coming:

shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave; either from going down into it, or coming under the power of it; so the Targum,

"what man is he that shall live, and shall not see the angel of death (Hebrews 2:14) shall he deliver his soul from his hand, that he should not go down to the house of his grave?''

or deliver himself from the power of it, when in it; that is, raise himself from the dead: none ever did this, or ever can: Christ indeed undertook, and has promised, to redeem his people from the power of the grave, upon which they have believed they should be delivered; see

Hosea 13:14, but if Christ rose not himself, which was the thing now in question, how could it be? the case stands thus; every man must die; no man can raise himself from the dead; if Christ rise not, everyone must continue under the power of the grave; for then there could be no resurrection.

Selah. Hosea 13:14- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? - Shall not die - to see death being an expression often used to denote death itself. Death is represented as a real object, now invisible, but which will make itself visible to us when we die. The meaning here is, “All men are mortal; this universal law must apply to kings as well as to other men; in a short time he to whom these promises pertain will pass away from the earth; and the promises made to him cannot then be fulfilled.”

Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? - His life. Will he be able to deliver that from the power of the grave; in Hebrew, שׁאול she'ôl. Death - the grave - Sheol - asserts a universal dominion over mankind, and no one can be rescued from that stern power.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 89:48. What man is he that liveth — All men are mortal, and death is uncertain and no man, by wisdom, might, or riches, can deliver his life from the hand-the power, of death and the grave.
