Psalm 39:5-6

New American Standard Bible

⁵Behold, You have made ^(A)my days like ^[a]hand widths,
And my ^(B)lifetime as nothing in Your sight;
Certainly all mankind standing is ^[b]a mere ^(C)breath. Selah
⁶Certainly every person ^(D)walks around as ^[c]a fleeting shadow;
They certainly make an ^(E)uproar for nothing;
He ^(F)amasses riches and does not know who will gather them.

Romans 7:21-25

New American Standard Bible

²¹I find then ^(A)the ^[a]principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. ²²For I joyfully agree with the law of God ^[b]in ^(B)the inner person, ²³but I see ^(C)a different law in ^[c]the parts of my body waging war against the ^(D)law of my mind, and making me a prisoner ^[d]of ^(E)the law of sin, the law which is in ^[e]my body’s parts. ²⁴Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from ^[f]^(F)the body of this ^(G)death? ²⁵^(H)Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh ^(I)the law of sin.
