'Time' in the Bible

‘You renew Your witnesses against meAnd increase Your indignation and anger toward me;Hardship after hardship is with me [attacking me time after time].

“Since his days are determined,The number of his months is with You [in Your control],And You have made his limits so he cannot pass [his allotted time].

“[O God] turn your gaze from him so that he may rest,Until he fulfills his day [on earth] like a hired man.

“Oh, that You would hide me in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead),That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past,That You would set a definite time and then remember me [and in Your lovingkindness imprint me on your heart]!

“Do you not know this from the old days,Since the time that man was placed on the earth,

“In the fullness of his excess (great abundance) he will be in trouble;The hand of everyone who suffers will come against him [he is miserable on every side].

“Will you keep to the ancient pathThat wicked men walked [in the time of Noah],

Men who were snatched away before their time,Whose foundations were poured out like a river?

“For I do not know how to flatter, [in an appropriate way, and I fear that],My Maker would soon take me away.

“For He sets no appointed time for a man,That he should appear before Him in judgment.

Which I have reserved for the time of trouble,For the day of battle and war?

“Do you know the time when the wild goats of the rock give birth [to their young]?Do you observe the calving of the deer?

“Can you count the months that they carry offspring,Or do you know the time when they give birth?
