Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 48. - What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? An expansion of the first clause of ver. 47. Man's littleness, feebleness, and fleetingness should draw forth the pity and loving kindness of God.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(48) What man.--Rather, What hero, or champion, or great man. The word is used of a king (Jeremiah 22:30; comp. Isaiah 22:17). The verse repeats a common poetic theme:--"Pallida mors aequo pulsat pede pauperum tabernas,Regumque turres."--HORACE, I. Od. iv.The hand of the grave.--Rather, of the underworld, "hand" being used for "power."
