Psalms 39:6 - Exposition

Surely every man walketh in a vain show ; literally, in an image, or "as an image;" i.e. with a mere semblance of life, but without the reality. Surely they are disquieted in vain . Their restless strivings are to no end, have no result. He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them (comp. Job 27:16 , Job 27:17 ; Ecclesiastes 2:18 , Ecclesiastes 2:21 ).
