Behold, you have made my days a few hand breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah Surely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather! And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.
Lord, we are like a tissue tossed in the stove. Poof and gone! It contributed nothing to the warmth of the house; its only value was that, being gone, it did not serve to litter the house. So our lives can seem, O Lord; but You have made us in Your image, for Your Kingdom and glory. Help me not to dwell on the fleeting nature of my life, but on the eternal blessedness of knowing You.
My hope is in you, Lord – in you, in you!
