Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 6:5

_ _ (Compare Psalms 115:17, Psalms 115:18; Isaiah 38:18). There is no incredulity as to a future state. The contrast is between this scene of life, and the grave or Sheol, the unseen world of the dead.

_ _ give ... thanks — or, “praise for mercies.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 6:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 6:5

In death — Among the dead. Remembrance — He speaks of the remembrance or celebration of God's grace in the land of the living, to the edification of God's church, and the propagation of true religion among men; which is not done in the other life.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
