NET Bible
"Surely people go through life as mere ghosts. Surely they accumulate worthless wealth without knowing who will eventually haul it away.”"
— Psalms 39:6, NET Bible
“Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.”
“Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. ”
“"Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn't know who shall gather.”
“Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.”
“Truly, every man goes on his way like an image; he is troubled for no purpose: he makes a great store of wealth, and has no knowledge of who will get it.”
“Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.”
my anxiety intensified. As I thought about it, I became impatient. Finally I spoke these words:
“O LORD, help me understand my mortality and the brevity of life! Let me realize how quickly my life will pass!
Look, you make my days short-lived, and my life span is nothing from your perspective. Surely all people, even those who seem secure, are nothing but vapor.(Selah)
Surely people go through life as mere ghosts. Surely they accumulate worthless wealth without knowing who will eventually haul it away.”
But now, O Lord, upon what am I relying? You are my only hope!
Deliver me from all my sins of rebellion! Do not make me the object of fools’ insults!
I am silent and cannot open my mouth because of what you have done.
