“As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.”
Psalms 103:15 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 103:15
Human life is 'as grass' and flourishes 'as a flower of the field,' emphasizing transience and fragility. This botanical metaphor (used also in Isa 40:6-8, 1 Pet 1:24) contrasts human mortality with God's eternality. Days ('yamim) plural emphasizes that even accumulated years amount to brief existence. Yet Scripture values this brief life highly when lived for God's glory. Christ's resurrection promises that though our bodies are like grass, believers will receive immortal, glorious bodies (1 Cor 15:42-44).
