Psalms 146:4 - Exposition

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth ; or, "when his breath goes forth"— i.e; when he breathes his last—"he returns to his earth," i . e . to the earth of which he was made ( Genesis 2:7 , Genesis 2:19 ). In that very day his thoughts perish. All his schemes and projects ( 'eshtonoth , a word not occurring elsewhere) come to an end—are nipped in the bud—perish. So weak is he, and not to be depended on.
