Psalm 89:47

The Scriptures 1998

Please remember how short my time is; Why should you have created all the sons of men for naught?

See the chapter Copy

“Man born of woman is of few days and turmoil-filled.

Remember, please, that You have made me like clay. And would You turn me into dust again?

Remember that my life is a breath! My eye is never again to see good.

when you do not know of tomorrow. For what is your life? For it is a vapour that appears for a little, and then disappears –

Man is like a breath, His days like a passing shadow.

How many are the days of Your servant? When do You execute right-ruling On those who persecute me?

How long, O יהוה, Would You be enraged forever? Would Your jealousy burn like fire?
