Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have You created all the sons of men?
Remember, I pray, that You have made me as the clay. And would You return me to dust?
“Man who is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.
Oh, remember that my life is a breath! My eye will never again see good.
How many are the days of Your servant? When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me?
Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? It is just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.
