⁹ For ^(A)we were born yesterday, and know ^[a]nothing,
Because our days on earth are a shadow.

⁵ You carry them away like a flood;
^(A)They are like a sleep.
In the morning ^(B)they are like grass which grows up:

⁶ In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
In the evening it is cut down and withers.

⁹ For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
We finish our years like a sigh.

¹¹ My days are like a shadow that lengthens,
And I wither away like grass.

^4 (A)Man is like a breath;
^(B)His days are like a passing shadow.
