Psalms 39:4-7

4 “O Lord, gmake me know my end
and what is the measure of my days;
let me know how fleeting I am!
5Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
and hmy lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely iall mankind stands as a mere breath!  Selah
6Surely a man jgoes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing
Hebrew  Surely as a breath
they are in turmoil;
man lheaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!
7 “And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?
mMy hope is in you.

Psalms 90:5-10

5 You nsweep them away as with a flood; they are like oa dream,
like pgrass that is renewed in the morning:
6in qthe morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it rfades and swithers.
7 For we are brought to an end by your anger;
by your wrath we are dismayed.
8You have tset our iniquities before you,
our usecret sins in the light of your presence.
9 For all our days pass away under your wrath;
we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
10The years of our life are seventy,
or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span
Or pride
is but toil and trouble;
they are soon gone, and we fly away.

Psalms 103:15-16

15 As for man, his days are like wgrass;
he flourishes like xa flower of the field;
16for ythe wind passes over it, and zit is gone,
and aaits place knows it no more.

12For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his abvain
The Hebrew term hebel can refer to a “vapor” or “mere breath” (see note on 1:2)
life, which he passes like ada shadow? For who can tell man what will be aeafter him under the sun?

Ecclesiastes 9:10

10Whatever your hand finds to do, afdo it with your might,
Or  finds to do with your might, do it
ahfor there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.
