1Man, born of woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
1Man, born of woman! Of few days, and full of trouble!
2He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; and he fleeth as a shadow, and continueth not.

5If determined are his days, The number of his months <FI>are<Fi> with Thee, His limit Thou hast made, And he passeth not over;
6Look away from him; and let him rest, till he accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
6Look away from off him that he may cease, Till he enjoy as an hireling his day.

8Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground,
8If its root becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth die in the dust,

9From the fragrance of water it doth flourish, And hath made a crop as a plant.
10But a man dieth, and is prostrate; yea, man expireth, and where is he?

12So man lieth down, and riseth not again; till the heavens be no more, they do not awake, nor are raised out of their sleep.
12And man hath lain down, and riseth not, Till the wearing out of the heavens they awake not, Nor are roused from their sleep.
13Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, that thou wouldest keep me secret until thine anger be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me, —
13O that in Sheol Thou wouldest conceal me, Hide me till the turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, and remember me.
14(If a man die, shall he live [again]?) all the days of my time of toil would I wait, till my change should come:
14If a man dieth--doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come.

16But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over my sin.

19Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed.
