Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 39:6
The Treasury of David. Browse this work.
The vanity of man, as mortal, is here instanced in three things, and the vanity of each shown.
1. The vanity of our joys and honours: Surely every man walketh in a vain show.
2. The vanity of our griefs and fears: Surely they are disquieted in vain.
3. The vanity of our cares and toils: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. —Matthew Henry.
