But humanity cannot last, despite its conceit; it will pass away just like the animals.

Humanity, despite its conceit, does not understand that it will perish, just like the animals. A song of Asaph.

{To the Chanter, an exhortation of David when Doeg the Edomite came to Saul, and showed him, saying: David is come to the house of Abimelech} Thy boastest thou thyself, thou tyrant, that thou canst do mischief, whereas the goodness of God endureth yet daily?

Those who watch me all day have harassed me, for there are many who fight against me out of conceit.

The sin of their mouth is the word on their lips. They will be caught in their own conceit; for they speak curses and lies.

Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
