Young's Literal Translation
“
Man, who
is
born of woman ,
is
short
of days and full of trouble .
Man, born of woman !
Of few
days ,
and full of trouble !
Like
a flower ,
he comes
forth, then
withers
away;
like
a
fleeting
shadow
, he does
not endure
.
As
a flower he hath
gone
forth, and
is
cut
off
, And
he fleeth
as
a
shadow
and
standeth
not.
Do
You
open
Your
eyes
to
one
like
this ?
Will
You
bring him
into judgment before
You?
Also
--
on
this Thou
hast
opened
Thine
eyes,
And
dost
bring me
into judgment with
Thee.
Who can
bring
out
clean from
unclean? No
one !
Who giveth
a
clean thing
out
of
an
unclean? not
one .
Since
his days are
determined
and
the number of his months is
with You
, and since
You
have
set
limits
that
he cannot
exceed,
If
determined
are
his days ,
The number of his months `are'
with Thee
, His
limit
Thou
hast
made,
And he passeth
not
over;
look away from him
and
let
him rest
, so
he can
enjoy his day as
a
hired
hand
.
Look away from off
him that
he
may
cease
, Till
he enjoy as
an
hireling
his day.
For there is hope
for
a tree :
If it is
cut down, it
will
sprout
again, and
its tender shoots
will
not fail
.
For there is of
a tree hope,
if it be
cut down, That
again it
doth
change
, That
its tender branch
doth
not cease
.
If its roots
grow
old in the ground
and its stump
dies
in the soil
,
If its root
becometh
old in the earth,
And its stem
doth
die
in the dust
,
at
the scent
of water it will
bud
and put
forth
twigs
like
a sapling
.
From
the fragrance
of water it doth
flourish,
And hath
made
a crop
as
a
plant
.
But
a man dies
and is
laid
low;
he
breathes
his
last
, and where is he?
And
a man dieth,
and becometh
weak
, And man
expireth,
and
where `
is '
he?
As
water
disappears
from the
sea and a river becomes
parched
and dry ,
Waters
have
gone
away
from a
sea ,
And a river becometh
waste
and dry .
so
a
man lies
down and does
not rise.
Until
the heavens are
no
more,
he
will
not be
awakened
or
roused from sleep.
And
man hath
lain
down ,
and riseth
not ,
Till
the wearing
out
of
the
heavens they
awake
not ,
Nor
are
roused from their
sleep.
If
only
You
would
hide
me
in Sheol and
conceal me until
Your
anger has
passed!
If
only
You
would
appoint
a
time
for me and then
remember me !
O
that
in Sheol Thou
wouldst
conceal me ,
Hide
me
till
the
turning
of
Thine
anger ,
Set
for me a
limit,
and remember me .
When
a man dies,
will
he live
again
? All the
days of my hard
service
I will
wait, until
my renewal
comes
.
If
a man dieth
--
doth
he revive
? All days of my warfare
I wait, till
my change
come
.
You
will
call, and I will
answer; You
will
desire
the work of Your
hands.
Thou
dost
call, and I --
I
answer Thee
; To
the work of Thy
hands Thou
hast
desire
.
For
then
You
would
count
my steps, but
would
not keep
track
of
my sin.
But
now,
my steps Thou
numberest
, Thou
dost
not watch
over
my sin.
My
transgression
would
be
sealed in a bag, and You
would
cover
over
my
iniquity.
Sealed up
in a bag `is'
my
transgression
, And Thou
sewest
up
mine
iniquity.
But
as
a mountain erodes
and
crumbles
and a rock is dislodged
from its place ,
And
yet,
a falling
mountain wasteth
away,
And a rock is removed
from its place .
as
water
wears
away
the
stones and
torrents
wash away the soil
, so
You
destroy
a
man’s
hope.
Stones have
waters
worn
away,
Their
outpourings
wash away the dust
of
earth
, And
the
hope of
man
Thou
hast
destroyed
.
You
forever
overpower
him, and he passes
on;
You
change
his countenance and send
him away.
Thou
prevailest
`over'
him for
ever
, and he goeth,
He
is
changing
his countenance ,
And Thou
sendest
him away.
If
his sons receive
honor
, he does
not know
it
; if
they are brought
low
, he is
unaware
.
Honoured
are
his sons, and
he knoweth
not; And
they are little
, and
he attendeth
not
to
them
.
He
feels
only the
pain
of
his own
body
and mourns
only
for himself
. ”
Only --
his flesh
for
him
is
pained,
And his
soul
for him
doth
mourn
. '
