20 Are not my days few? cease then and let me alone, that I may revive a little,
Look away from me, and let me recover strength, before I go hence and be no more.
I loathe it; I shall not live always: let me alone, for my days are a breath. What is man, that thou makest much of him? and that thou settest thy heart upon him? And that thou visitest him every morning, triest him every moment? How long wilt thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? Have I sinned, what do I unto thee, thou Observer of men? Why hast thou set me as an object of assault for thee, so that I am become a burden to myself? And why dost not thou forgive my transgression and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I lie down in the dust, and thou shalt seek me early, and I shall not be.
For we are [but] of yesterday, and know nothing, for our days upon earth are a shadow.
Withdraw thy hand far from me; and let not thy terror make me afraid:
Behold, thou hast made my days [as] hand-breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before thee; verily, every man, [even] the high placed, is altogether vanity. Selah.
