¹⁴ If he set his heart upon himself, `If' he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

¹⁵ All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust.

⁷ and the dust returneth to the earth as it was, and the spirit returneth unto God who gave it.

⁷ Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

²⁴ Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And holdest me for thine enemy?

⁹ Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay; And wilt thou bring me into dust again?
