Commentators explain that this verse portrays human life as a single, fleeting day. Like grass that is vibrant in the morning, we flourish in our youth and strength. But just as that same grass is cut down and withered by evening, our lives are fragile and can end suddenly. This powerful image serves as a stark reminder of our mortality and the swift passage of our time on earth.
