Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 102:11

11 My days are like a shadow that declineth : and I am withered like grass.

Our hopes and comforts and happiness; days being oft put for happy days or an happy state, as Psal. 37. 18. Lament. 5. 21. as elsewhere they are put more generally for the events which happen in those days: in both which cases it is a Metonymy of the Adjunct.

Or, that is extended or stretched out to its ulmost length, as it is when the Sun is setting, when it speedily and totally vanisheth. And just so the hopes of our restitution, which sometimes we have, are quickly cut off and disappointed.
