Psalm 89:47-49
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
47 How long, Lord? Will you hide forever?
Must your wrath smolder like fire?(A)
48 Remember how brief life is,
how frail the sons of man you have created!(B)
49 What is man, that he should live and not see death?
Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol?(C)
Selah
VI
