_ _ are passed — literally, “turn,” as to depart (Jeremiah 6:4).
_ _ spend — literally, “consume.”
_ _ as a tale — literally, “a thought,” or, “a sigh” (Ezekiel 2:10). |
Psalms 90:9
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we (h) spend our years as a tale [that is told].
(h) Our days are not only short but miserable as our sins daily provoke your wrath. |
- For:
Psalms 78:33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
|
- we spend:
- The Vulgate has, Anni nostri sicut aranea mediatabuntur, "Our years pass away like those of the spider." Our plans and operations are like the spider's web. Life is as frail, and the thread of it as brittle, as one of those which constitute the well-wrought and curious, but fragile habitation of that insect. All the versions have the word spider, but it is not found in any Hebrew manuscripts, or edition yet collated. The Hebrew might be rendered, "We consume our lives with a groan," kemo hegeh.
|
- a tale:
- Heb. a meditation,
Psalms 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.
Psalms 39:5 Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and mine age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state [is] altogether vanity. Selah.
