O LORD, how long will this go on?
Will you hide yourself forever?
How long will your anger burn like fire?
Remember how short my life is,
how empty and futile this human existence!
No one can live forever; all will die.
No one can escape the power of the grave.
O LORD, how long will this go on? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?

How long will you look the other way? (see all Psalm 13)
Psalm 79:5
O LORD, how long will you be angry with us? Forever?
How long will your jealousy burn like fire? (see all Psalm 79)
Remember how short my life is, how empty and futile this human existence!

"O God, remember that my life is but a breath,
and I will never again feel happiness." (see all chapter 7)

Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind,
and the powerful are not what they appear to be.
If you weigh them on the scales,
together they are lighter than a breath of air. (see all Psalm 62)
Psalm 78:39
For he remembered that they were merely mortal,
gone like a breath of wind that never returns. (see all Psalm 78)

O LORD, what are human beings that you should notice them,
mere mortals that you should think about them?
For their days are like a passing shadow. (see all Psalm 144)
