My speech distill as the dew,
As the droplets on the fresh grass
And as the showers on the herb.

Through sunshine after rain.’

Indeed, I forget to eat my bread.

My days are like a lengthened shadow,
And I wither away like grass.

As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

Who are you that you are afraid of man who dies
And of the son of man who is made like grass,

And the hand of the Lord will be made known to His servants,
But He will be indignant toward His enemies.

And the flower falls off,
