1 -“Man, who is born of woman, is short of days and full of trouble.
2 -Like a flower, he comes forth, then withers away; like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure.
3 -Do You open Your eyes to one like this? Will You bring him into judgment before You?
4 -Who can bring out clean from unclean? No one!
5 -Since his days are determined and the number of his months is with You, and since You have set limits that he cannot exceed,
6 -look away from him and let him rest, so he can enjoy his day as a hired hand.
7 -For there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not fail.
8 -If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump dies in the soil,
9 -at the scent of water it will bud and put forth twigs like a sapling.
10 -But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last, and where is he?
11 -As water disappears from the sea and a river becomes parched and dry,
12 -so a man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no more, he will not be awakened or roused from sleep.
13 -If only You would hide me in Sheol and conceal me until Your anger has passed! If only You would appoint a time for me and then remember me!
14 -When a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, until my renewal comes.
15 -You will call, and I will answer; You will desire the work of Your hands.
16 -For then You would count my steps, but would not keep track of my sin.
17 -My transgression would be sealed in a bag, and You would cover over my iniquity.
18 -But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and a rock is dislodged from its place,
19 -as water wears away the stones and torrents wash away the soil, so You destroy a man’s hope.
20 -You forever overpower him, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.
21 -If his sons receive honor, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he is unaware.
22 -He feels only the pain of his own body and mourns only for himself.”
(Berean Standard Bible)
