Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 90:3

Theological / Devotional

Man. Heb. ’enosh, “man in his frailty” (see on Ps. 8:4).

Destruction. Heb. dakka’, “crushed,” translated “contrite” in Ps. 34:18; Isa. 57:15; here possibly meaning crushed matter like dust.

Return. Seemingly a reference to death. There is no more sobering thought than this, that all, regardless of rank, nationality, wealth, or other mark of distinction, must die.
