comes up like a flower and withers, flees like a shadow and does not last.
But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever; your name endures to all generations.
though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever,
A voice says, “Cry out!” And I said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass; their constancy is like the flower of the field.
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the field; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. It is the same way with the rich; in the midst of a busy life, they will wither away.
