Psalm 145:4 Douay-Rheims

His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.

Ibn Ezra

1089–1167 Jewish

"[His spirit] shall leave]" - That [spirit] which dwells in his heart. "He shall return to his earth" - For the bones are, in their structure, of earth, and they are the foundations of the body. The meaning of the word "עשתונותיו" is "his thoughts", like [it says in Yonah 1:6]: "Perhaps God will think (יתעשת) [of us and we will not be lost]." [this being] like saying "God will think, will think of me."

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
