Psalm 89:47

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Remember how short my time is— for what vanity you have created all mortals!

See the chapter Copy

“A mortal, born of woman, few of days and full of trouble,

Remember that you fashioned me like clay, and will you turn me to dust again?

“Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never again see good.

Yet you do not even know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

They are like a breath; their days are like a passing shadow.

How long must your servant endure? When will you judge those who persecute me?

How long, O Lord? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealous wrath burn like fire?
