⁹ (For of yesterday we `are', and we know not, For a shadow `are' our days on earth.)

¹⁵ for sojourners we `are' before Thee, and settlers, like all our fathers; as a shadow `are' our days on the land, and there is none abiding.

² As a flower he hath gone forth, and is cut off, And he fleeth as a shadow and standeth not.

⁴ Man to vanity hath been like, His days `are' as a shadow passing by.

⁹ And Jacob saith unto Pharaoh, `The days of the years of my sojournings `are' an hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.'

⁶ My days swifter than a weaving machine, And they are consumed without hope.

¹¹ My days as a shadow `are' stretched out, And I -- as the herb I am withered.

⁵ Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age `is' as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity `is' every man set up. Selah.

⁴ For a thousand years in Thine eyes `are' as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.
