Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them;
Let all who are around Him bring gifts to Him who is to be feared [with awe-inspired reverence].

Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For He commanded and they were created.

Remember how fleeting my lifetime is;
For what vanity, [for what emptiness, for what futility, for what wisp of smoke] You have created all the sons of men!

Let this be recorded for the generation to come,
That a people yet to be created will praise the Lord.

You send out Your Spirit, they are created;
You renew the face of the ground.
