World English Bible
"Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away."
— Psalms 144:4, World English Bible
“Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.”
“Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away. ”
“People are like a vapor, their days like a shadow that disappears.”
“Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.”
“Man is like a breath: his life is like a shade which is quickly gone.”
“Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.”
Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to battle:
my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge; who subdues my people under me.
Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?
Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.
Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them.
Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners;
