## Text

[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.”
