Psalm 39:5a "Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths..."
Day 317 – Psalm 39
“Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths…” Psalm 39:5a
A FRESH APPRECIATION OF GOD AS CREATOR
David had written another psalm musing on the subject of God’s creation of man (Psalm 8). In that psalm he stood in wonder at God’s creation of man! The thoughts of this prayer in Psalm 39 may be appended to his reflection on man.
“Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but vapour.”
Psalm 39:5
