Psalm 90:6
“In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 90Meaning
Within “Human mortality and passing time,” verse 6 uses grass that flourishes in the morning and withers by evening as an image of human brevity; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.
Read carefully
Read Psalm 90:6 inside its literary unit and the movement of Psalm 90; its imagery and claims are constrained by that context.
Reflection
Respond to the verse's specific emphasis — uses grass that flourishes in the morning and withers by evening as an image of human brevity — while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 90.
