Theological / Devotional

End. The substance of the psalmist’s troubled thoughts is expressed in the first clause of this verse. The psalmist wants to have a proper sense of the brevity and uncertainty of human life, that he may rest in the consciousness of God’s care.

How frail I am. Compare Job 3.
