1I said to myself, “I will be careful not to sin by the things that I say MTY. I will not say anything to complain while wicked people are near to me and can hear me.”
2So I was completely silent DOU, and I did not even talk about things that were good, but it was useless, because I began to suffer even more.
3I became very anxious/worried IDM. As I thought about my troubles, I became more worried. Then finally I said MTY,
4“Yahweh, show/tell me how long I will live. Tell me when I will die. Tell me how many years I will live!
5It seems that you have caused me to live only a short time; ◄my lifetime/all the time that I have lived► seems like nothing to you. The time that all we humans live is as short as MET a puff of wind.
6Then we disappear like a shadow does. It seems that all that we do is for nothing/useless. We sometimes get a lot of money, but we do not know who will get it after we die.
7So now, Yahweh, if I expect RHQ to receive blessings from other people, I will be disappointed. You are the only one from whom I confidently expect to receive blessings.
