3. Thou hast turned man to destruction, or, “to dust.” The human body is
resolved into its elements, as though it had been ground to powder. And sayest, Return, ye children of men, that is, return to the dust out of
which you were taken. Human frailty is thus forcibly set forth; God creates us
out of the dust, and back to the dust we go at the word of our Creator. Observe
how the action of God is recognized: man is not said to die because of the
decree of fate, or the action of inevitable law, but the Lord is made the agent
of all.
