Be gracious to me, LORD, because I am fading away. Heal me, because my body is distressed.

My eyesight has faded because of grief, it has dimmed because of all my enemies.

Indeed, they soon will wither like grass, and like green herbs they will fade away.

In the morning it blossoms and is renewed, but toward evening, it fades and withers.

All our days pass away in your wrath; our years fade away and end like a sigh.

I am fading away like a shadow late in the day; I am shaken off like a locust.

The human person is a mere empty breath; his days are like a fading shadow.
