Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. Yet doth God think of us, even as he doth of the grass; and as he giveth to each blade of grass its own drop of dew, so do we seem to feel hanging about each one of us a...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. You are like the primrose by the river’s brink, or the buttercup and the daisy in the meadow that is mown with the scythe. That is all we mortals are; — not mighty cedars, not solid rocks, but just flowers of the field or as so much grass.

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone,.... A stormy wind, as the Targum, which tears it up by its roots, or blows off the flower, and it is seen no more; or a blighting easterly wind, which, blowing on it, shrivels it up, and it dies at once; such an one as blasted the seven ears of corn in Pharaoh's dream, Genesis 41:23 or any impetuous,...

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. The hot winds of the East blow over a meadow, and it is burned up immediately.
