Of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should pay attention to them,

The Lord looks down from heaven at the human race, to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God.

You destroy their offspring from the earth, their descendants from among the human race.

He is the one who forms every human heart, and takes note of all their actions.

How precious is your loyal love, O God! The human race finds shelter under your wings.

(the ransom price for a human life is too high, and people go to their final destiny),

God looks down from heaven at the human race, to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God.

Men are nothing but a mere breath; human beings are unreliable. When they are weighed in the scales, all of them together are lighter than air.

A song, a psalm written by the Korahites; for the music director; according to the machalath-leannoth style; a well-written song by Heman the Ezrachite. O Lord God who delivers me! By day I cry out and at night I pray before you.

Does the one who makes the human ear not hear? Does the one who forms the human eye not see?

Does the one who disciplines the nations not punish? He is the one who imparts knowledge to human beings!

O Lord, of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should be concerned about them?

Do not trust in princes, or in human beings, who cannot deliver!
