Commentary on Psalms 39:6
Theological / DevotionalVain shew. Heb. selem, “an image,” here a transient image.
Disquieted in vain. Man is restless, full of anxiety, active, but what does he accomplish (see James 4:13, 14)?
Heapeth up riches. The psalmist sees the phantoms called men spending most of their energy amassing wealth, at the same time recognizing that they have no control over their wealth after death (see Job 27:16–19; Eccl. 2:18, 21).
