Psalm 90:3

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

At your command we die and turn back to dust,

See the chapter Copy

You will have to sweat to earn a living; you were made out of soil, and you will once again turn into soil.”

Every living creature is in the hands of God.

But when you turn away, they are terrified; when you end their life, they die and rot.

Once they die and are buried, that will be the end of all their plans.

So our bodies return to the earth, and the life-giving breath returns to God.

You sinful people who ganged up against me will die here in the desert.
