"Would He not letmy fewdaysalone?Withdrawfrom me that I may havea littlecheer
I should have beenas thoughI had not been,Carriedfrom wombto tomb.'
RemoveYour handfrom me, And let not the dreadof You terrifyme.
"Man,who is bornof woman,Is short-livedand fullof turmoil.
"For we are [only] of yesterdayand knownothing,Becauseour dayson earthare as a shadow.
"He will not allowme to getmy breath,But saturatesme with bitterness.
"TurnYour gazeawayfrom me, that I may smile[again] BeforeI departand am nomore."
"Behold,You have mademy days[as] handbreadths,And my lifetimeas nothingin Your sight;Surelyeverymanat his bestis a merebreath.Selah.
