This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





I said, to and within myself, I concluded it.



In the cutting off of my days; when my days were cut off by the sentence of God, related here, Isa_38:1.



I shall go to the gates of the grave; I perceive that I must die without any hopes of prevention. The grave is called a man’s long home, Ecc_12:5, and the house appointed for all living men, Job_30:23, and death opens the gates of this house. We read also of the gates of death, Psa_9:13 107:18.



I am deprived of the residue of my years; which I might have lived, according to the common course of nature, and of God’s dispensations; and which I expected and hoped to live, for the service of God and of my generation.
