Why does it say "Hored She'ol Ge'onecha"?

1.

Radak: You were haughty, and imagined that you are like Kel, because you ruled over all nations. Now it is seen that your pride descended to the grave; you are like any person.

2.

Malbim: Other kings, even though their pride descends to the grave, people remember their deeds forever in songs that describe their mighty acts. You, also your lyres will be silent; people will not recall your deeds.

Rashi: I think that I saw this in the great Mesorah, along with "v'Zimras Nevalecha" (Amos 5:23) among words with two meanings.

Why does it say "Tachtecha Yutza Rimah

1.

Radak: In your lifetime, you had dear sheets under you and esteemed covers. Now in your death they will be worms. It says "Yutza" and "u'Mechasecha" (masculine), even though Rimah and Tole'ah are feminine, for it refers in general to many worms. Verses sometimes discuss the Klal in the masculine, and sometimes in the feminine. "U'Mechasecha Tole'ah" is masculine, and "v'Rimah Techaseh Aleihem" (Iyov 21:26) is feminine. We similarly find "va'Tehi ha'Kinam" (feminine), "va'Ta'al ha'Tzfarde'a" (masculine; Shemos 8:14, 2).
