For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.
He knows exactly how we are fashioned because He fashioned us, and He remembers we are dust, frail creatures heading toward the grave. We forget this and overwork ourselves and burden others grievously, but our heavenly Father never overloads us, always apportioning our lot with tender regard for our weakness. Blessed be His name for such gentleness toward His dust-made creatures.
AI summary
Man is grass, and grass is all he is: it springs, it flourishes briefly, and then the wind passes and it is gone, seen no more in its place. So with man in his best estate, adorned with health and riches and honor; death or adversity removes him from this world entirely, and he is present here no longer.
AI summary
First, In point of affliction. Psa. ciii. 14, "He knoweth onr frame, lie renieniberetli that we are but dust.' Not like some unskilled enipyric, who hath but one receipt for all, strong or weak, young or old ; but as a wise physician considers his patient, and then wi'ites his bill : men and devils are but God's apothecaries ; they make not our physic, but give what God prescribes.
