(10) I said in the cutting off of my days . . .--The words have been very differently interpreted--(1) "in the quietness," and so in the even tenor of a healthy life. As a fact, however, the complaint did not, and could not, come in the "quiet" of his life, but after it had passed away; (2) "in the dividing point," scil., the "half-way house of life." Hezekiah was thirty-nine, but the word might rightly be used of the years between thirty-five and forty, which were the moieties of the seventy and eighty years of the psalmist (Psalm 90:10).

Ver. 6 is against this latter view. I shall go to the gates of the grave; rather, I shall enter in at the gates of hell (or, Hades) - the place of departed spirits (see the comment on Isaiah 14:9).
