Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 47. - Remember how short my time is. Consider how short-lived is the whole race of men. Come, therefore, to our deliverance quickly. Wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? literally, for what vanity thou hast made all the sons of men. Another point suggested for God's consideration, as fitted to call forth his compassion.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(47) Remember.--The text of this clause runs, Remember I how duration, which might possibly be an incoherent sob, meaning remember how quickly I pass. But since the transposition of a letter brings the clause into conformity with Psalm 39:4, "how frail I am," it is better to adopt the change.Wherefore hast thou . . .--Literally, for what vanity hast thou created all men?"Count all the joys thine hours have seen,Count all the days from anguish free,And know, whatever thou hast been,'Twere something better not to be."--BYRON.
