Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

man--literally, "frail man," an allusion to his essential infirmity. son of man--only varies the form of speech. visitest--in favor (Ps 65:10). This favor is now more fully illustrated.

The son - Hebrew. the son of Adam, that great apostate from God, the sinful son of a sinful father, his son by likeness of disposition and manners, no less than by procreation. All which tends to magnify the following mercy. Visitest - Not in anger, as that word is sometimes used, but with thy grace and mercy.
