^3 (A)Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him?
Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him?

¹⁷ “What^(A) is man, that You should exalt him,
That You should set Your heart on him,

^(A)“What is man that You are mindful of him,
Or the son of man that You take care of him?

¹⁴ “What^(A) is man, that he could be pure?
And he who is born of a woman, that he could be righteous?

^3 (A)Do not put your trust in princes,
Nor in ^[a]a son of man, in whom there is no ^[b]help.
^4 (B)His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
In that very day ^(C)his plans perish.
