Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - My days are like a shadow that declineth; literally, that lengthens, as shadows do when the day declines (comp. ver. 24). The psalmist, like his nation, is old before his time; the shades of evening have come upon him, when he should have been in his midday brightness. And I am withered like grass (comp. ver. 4). The "I" here is emphatic (אני) - not only is the psalmist's heart withered, but he himself is altogether scorched and dried up.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) A shadow that declineth.--Rather, a lengthening shadow, growing longer as the day declines, and therefore soon to vanish altogether. (Comp. Psalm 109:23.)"And now the sun had stretched out all the hills."MILTON: Lycidas,See also Note, Song of Solomon 2:17.
