⁵ Thus says the Lord:
“Cursed is the man ^(A)who trusts in man
    and makes flesh his strength,^[a]
    whose heart turns away from the Lord.

^3 (A)Put not your trust in princes,
    ^(B)in a son of man, in whom there is ^(C)no salvation.

³ O Lord, ^(A)what is man that you ^(B)regard him,
    or the son of man that you think of him?
^4 (C)Man is like a breath;
    his days are like ^(D)a passing ^(E)shadow.

^9 (A)Those of low estate are but a breath;
    those of high estate ^(B)are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
    ^(C)they are together lighter than a breath.
