When you with rebukes do correct man for iniquity, you make his beauty melt away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
All Commentaries on Psalms 39:11 Go To Psalms 39
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Spider. St. Jerome, "moth. "Symmachus, "thou dissolvest like corruption his desirable thing "(Haydock) which means the soul, (Berthier) or "beauty. "(Protestants) Remorse of conscience and God's judgments make a man pine away.
Disquieted is obelized in the Septuagint. (St. Jerome, ad Sun.) (Calmet)
It is not found in the Alexandrian and Comp. edition (Haydock) and seems to be taken from ver. 7. It does not alter the sense. (Berthier)
"Man is vanity always. "(St. Jerome)
As a spider which has consumed its moisture, so he decays. (Worthington)
