We are outsiders and strangers in your sight. So were all of our people who lived long ago. Our days on this earth are like a shadow. We don’t have any hope.

我们在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，与我们列祖一样。我们在世的日子如影儿，不能长存。

我们在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，与我们的列祖一样。我们在世的日子如影子，没有盼望。

我们在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，与我们的列祖一样。我们在世的日子如影子，没有盼望。

我们在你面前只是客旅，是寄居的，像我们祖先一样；我们在世的日子就像影子一样转瞬即逝。

我們在你面前是寄居寄住的僑民、像我們列祖一樣；我們在地上的日子如同影兒，沒有指望長久。

我儕在爾前、為遠人、為羈旅、同於列祖、在世之日如影、無永存之希望、

昔我列祖為賓旅於爾前、我儕亦然、我生命如影、難冀其長存。

我儕在主前如客旅寄居、無異列祖、我在世之日如影、難冀常存、

We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.

For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding.

We are here for only a moment, visitors and strangers in the land as our ancestors were before us. Our days on earth are like a passing shadow, gone so soon without a trace.

For we are aliens and temporary residents in your presence as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.

For we are strangers before You, and temporary residents, as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope.

For we are aliens and pilgrims before You, As were all our fathers; Our days on earth are as a shadow, And without hope.

For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding.

For we live before You as foreigners and temporary residents in Your presence as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.

For we[ are] strangers before thee, and sojourners, as[ were] all our fathers: our days on the earth[ are] as a shadow, and[ there is] none abiding.

For we are resident foreigners and nomads in your presence, like all our ancestors; our days are like a shadow on the earth, without security.

For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

They grow like flowers, and then they dry up. They are like shadows that quickly disappear.

“ Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for help. Pay attention to my weeping. I’m like an outsider in your home. I’m just a stranger, like all my family who lived before me.

The days of my life are like an evening shadow. I dry up like grass.

“‘ The land must not be sold without a way of getting it back. That is because it belongs to me. You are only outsiders and strangers in my land.

Jacob said to Pharaoh,“ The years of my journey through life are 130. My years have been few and hard. They aren’t as many as the years of my father and grandfather before me.”

Who knows what’s good for a person? They live for only a few meaningless days. They pass through life like a shadow. Who can tell them what will happen on earth after they are gone?

I’m a stranger on earth. Don’t hide your commands from me.

You have been angry with us all of our days. We groan as we come to the end of our lives.

Dear friends, you are outsiders and those who wander in this world. So I’m asking you not to give in to your sinful desires. They fight against your soul.

Another messenger says,“ Cry out.” And I said,“ What should I cry?”“ Cry out,‘ All people are like grass. They don’t stay faithful to me any longer than wildflowers last.The grass dries up. The flowers fall to the ground. That happens when the Lord makes his wind blow on them. So people are just like grass.The grass dries up. The flowers fall to the ground. But what our God says will stand forever.’ ”

All these people were still living by faith when they died. They didn’t receive the things God had promised. They only saw them and welcomed them from a long way off. They openly said that they were outsiders and strangers on earth.People who say things like that show that they are looking for a country of their own.What if they had been thinking of the country they had left? Then they could have returned to it.Instead, they longed for a better country. They wanted a heavenly one. So God is pleased when they call him their God. In fact, he has prepared a city for them.

Their lives don’t last any longer than a breath. Their days are like a shadow that quickly disappears.

You don’t even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist that appears for a little while. Then it disappears.
