For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.
My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass.
My days are like an evening shadow that stretches out and declines [with the sun]; and I am withered like grass.
My days are like a shadow soon gone. I’m dried up like dead grass.
For according to the height of the heavens above the earth, so has he reinforced his mercy toward those who fear him.
My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass.
Who cometh forth like a flower, and is destroyed, and fleeth as a shadow, and never continueth in the same state.
He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost. And he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up.
Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.
Aleph. I am the man that see my poverty by the rod of his indignation.
And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.
Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow.
For all flesh is as grass; and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered, and the flower thereof is fallen away.
