1 Man born of womanis short of days and full of trouble.
2 He blossoms like a flower, then withers; he flees like a shadow and does not last.
3 Do You really take notice of one like this?Will You bring me into judgment against You?
4 Who can produce something pure from what is impure?No one!
5 Since man’s days are determinedand the number of his months depends on You,and since You have set limits he cannot pass,
6 look away from him and let him restso that he can enjoy his day like a hired hand.
