Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - Thou turnest man to destruction; or, "to dust" (comp. Genesis 3:19). And sayest, Return, ye children of men; i.e. "return once more, and replenish the earth." There may be an allusion to the destruction of mankind by the Deluge, and the repeopling of the earth by the descendants of Noah, as Dr. Kay supposes; or the meaning may be that God is continually bringing one generation of men to an end. and then setting up another, having the same control over human life that he has over inanimate nature (ver. 2).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Thou turnest . . .--Probably we must render, Thou turnest man to dust; and sayest, Turn, sons of Adam--i.e., one generation dies and another succeeds (see Psalm 104:29-30), the continuance of the race being regarded as distinctly due to Divine power as the Creation, to which there is probably allusion.The LXX. suggest as the true reading, "Turn not man to dust, but say rather," &c.
