Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 146:4

"His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish." — Psalms 146:4 (ASV)

In that very day ...—Compare Antony’s words:

“But yesterday the word of Cæsar might
Have stood against the world; now lies he there,
And none so poor to do him reverence.”

SHAKSPEARE, Julius Cæsar.

Thoughts.— The Hebrew word is peculiar to this passage. “Fabrications” would reproduce its etymological meaning.
