Gill's Notes on the Bible
As for man, his days are as grass,.... He himself is like the grass which springs out of the earth; continues on it for a time, and then drops into it; the continuance of the grass is very short, it flourishes in the morning, is cut down at evening, and withers; see
Psalms 90:5. As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth; which denotes the goodliness of man, and describes him in his best estate, as possessed of health, riches, honour, and all the gifts and endowments of nature; and yet, with all these, is only like a field flower, exposed to every wind, liable to be cropped by every hand, and to be trampled upon by the beasts of the field; and therefore flourishes not long: so very precarious and uncertain is man in his most flourishing circumstances; see Isaiah 40:6.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
As for man - literally, âMan; like the grass are his days!â The thought is fixed on man: man so frail and weak; man, not only made originally of earth, but man delicate, feeble, soon to pass away like the springing grass, or like the fading flower.
His days are as grass - See the notes at Psalms 90:5-6; compare Isaiah 40:6-8, notes; 1 Peter 1:24, note.
As a flower of the field - As a blossom. It opens with beauty and fragrance, but soon fades and perishes.
So he flourisheth - Rather, âSo he blossoms.â That is, he is like a flower that is fresh and beautiful, and that soon withers away.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 103:15. His days are as grass — Psalms 90:5.
