Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Commentary on the Book of Psalms, Vol. 3 of 3
A shadow never continueth in one stay, but is still gliding imperceptibly oh, lengthening as it. Goes, and at last vanisheth into darkness. The period of its existence is limited to a day at farthest. The rising sun gives it birth, and in that moment when the sun sets it is no more. The grass of the field, in like manner, hath a. Being of the same duration. In the morning, clothed with verdure and beauty, it refresheth and delighteth the eye of the beholder; but the evening findeth it cut down, dried up, and withered. Such is 'the life of man, sojourning in the land of his captivity, and doing penance for his sins. But the eternity of Jehovah, the infallibility of his promises, and the remembrance of his former works and mercies, comfort our hearts, and encourage us to hope, nay, even to rejoice, in the midst of sorrow and tribulation.
