Remember how short my life is. Why did you create us? For nothing?
Remember that you molded me like a piece of clay. Will you now turn me back into dust?
“All of us born to women live only a few days and have lots of trouble.
Remember, God, that my life is only a breath. My eyes will never see happy times again.
How long will I live? When will you judge those who are hurting me?
People are like a breath; their lives are like passing shadows.
Lord, how long will this last? Will you be angry forever? How long will your jealousy burn like a fire?
But you do not know what will happen tomorrow! Your life is like a mist. You can see it for a short time, but then it goes away.
