“My(A) days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And are spent without hope.
Oh, remember that (B)my life is a breath!
My eye will never again see good.
(C)The eye of him who sees me will see me no more;
While your eyes are upon me, I shall no longer be.
As the cloud disappears and vanishes away,
So (D)he who goes down to the grave does not come up.
10 He shall never return to his house,
(E)Nor shall his place know him anymore.

My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And are spent without hope.
Oh remember that my life is a breath:
Mine eye shall no more see good.
The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more;
Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be.
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away,
So he that goeth down to Sheol shall come up no more.
10 He shall return no more to his house,
Neither shall his place know him any more.
