Your anger can end our life. Our lives fade away like a whisper.
So he ended their worthless lives; he brought their years to a close with disaster.
You gave me only a short life. Compared to you, my whole life is nothing. The life of every human is like a cloud that quickly disappears. Selah
To you, a thousand years is like yesterday, like a few hours in the night.
Make them like chaff blown by the wind. Let them be chased by the Lord’s angel.
Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to the words I cry to you. Look at my tears. I am only a traveler passing through this life with you. Like all my ancestors, I will live here only a short time.
