Calvin's on Psalms 89:48

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

48. What man shall live, and shall not see death? This verse contains a confirmation of what has been already stated concerning the brevity of human life. The amount is, that unless God speedily hasten to show himself a father to men, the opportunity of causing them to experience his grace will no longer exist. The original word גבר , geber, which we have translated man, is derived from the verb גבר , gabar, he was strong, or he prevailed; and the sacred writer employs this word, the more forcibly to express the truth, that no man is privileged with exemption from the dominion of death. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-49" class="com-number"
