For he knows our frame - Our formation; of what we are made; how we
are made. That is, he knows that we are made of dust; that we are
frail; that we are subject to decay; that we soon sink under a heavy
load. This is given as a reason why he pities us - that we are so frail
and feeble, and that we are so easily broken down by a pressure of
trial.
He remember that we are dust - Made of the earth. Genesis 2:7; Genesis 3:19.
In his dealings with us he does not forget of what frail materials he
made us, and how little our frames can bear. He tempers his dealings to
the weakness and frailty of our nature, and his compassion interposes
when the weight of sorrows would crush us. Remembering, too, our
weakness, he interposes by his power to sustain us, and to enable us to
bear what our frame could not otherwise endure.
