The LORD[ is] my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.The LORD[ is] good unto them that wait for him, to the soul[ that] seeketh him.[ It is] good that[ a man] should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.[ It is] good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

Wherefore I perceive that[ there is] nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that[ is] his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong[ his] days,[ which are] as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.

Behold, thou hast made my days[ as] an handbreadth; and mine age[ is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state[ is] altogether vanity. Selah.Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up[ riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.

The days of our years[ are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength[ they be] fourscore years, yet[ is] their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear,[ so is] thy wrath.So teach[ us] to number our days, that we may apply[ our] hearts unto wisdom.

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

My days[ are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

He hath shewed thee, O man, what[ is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any[ thing] that is done under the sun.

I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what[ was] that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
