⁵ Behold, You have made ^(A)my days as ^[a]handbreadths,
And my ^(B)lifetime as nothing before You;
Surely every man, even standing firm, is ^[b]altogether ^(C)vanity. ^[c]Selah.

^4 (A)Man is like a breath;
His ^(B)days are like a passing shadow.

² “^[a](A)Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher,
“^[b]Vanity of vanities! All is ^[c]vanity.”
