Psalms 89:48 Commentary: Rashi

זְכָר־אֲנִ֥י מֶה־חָ֑לֶד עַל־מַה־שָּׁ֝֗וְא בָּרָ֥אתָ כָל־בְּנֵי־אָדָֽם׃

O remember how short my time is; For what vanity hast Thou created all the children of men!

Rashi on Psalms

I am mindful what my old age is Heb. חלד. What old age do I have? Are not my days few? It should suffice You to punish me with my premature death.
