3 Thou dost dissolve this frame of MAN, By wasting age, and [chastening] pain; And sayest unto them, Now return, You [mortal] sons of men again.
3 Thou dost dissolve this frame of MAN, By wasting age, and [chastning] pain; And say'st unto them, Now return, You [mortal] sons of men again.
4 The long time of a thousand years Appeareth in thy [boundless] sight; As yesterday when it is past, And as a [hasty] watch by night.
5 From whence thou carryest them away As things a [speedy] torrent doth: They are asleep; and like the grass [Which is] but of one morning's growth.
6 In that morning it flourisheth; It quickly grows up [and is] green; And in the evening it's cut down, [And dead] and withered is seen.
