"Behold, you have made my days measurable, and, before you, my substance is as nothing. Yet truly, all things are vanity: every living man. "
— Psalms 38:6, Catholic Public Domain Version
“I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.”
“I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. ”
“I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.”
“I am dazed and completely humiliated; all day long I walk around mourning.”
“Behold thou hast made my days measurable. and my substance is as nothing before thee. And indeed all things are vanity: every man living.”
“I am troubled, I am made low; I go weeping all the day.”
“I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.”
I was silenced and humbled, and I was quiet before good things, and my sorrow was renewed.
My heart grew hot within me, and, during my meditation, a fire would flare up.
I spoke with my tongue, “O Lord, make me know my end, and what the number of my days will be, so that I may know what is lacking to me.”
Behold, you have made my days measurable, and, before you, my substance is as nothing. Yet truly, all things are vanity: every living man.
So then, truly man passes by like an image; even so, he is disquieted in vain. He stores up, and he knows not for whom he will gather these things.
And now, what is it that awaits me? Is it not the Lord? And my substance is with you.
Rescue me from all my iniquities. You have handed me over as a reproach to the foolish.
