Are your days as the days of man, or your years as a man’s years,

你的日子岂像人的日子，你的年岁岂像人的年岁，

你的日子岂像人的日子，你的年岁岂像壮士的年岁，

你的日子岂像人的日子，你的年岁岂像壮士的年岁，

难道你的年日有限，岁月如世人般短暂？

你的日子不如人的日子，你的年岁不像人的年岁，

你的日子豈像人的日子，你的年歲豈像人的年歲，

你的日子豈像人的日子，你的年歲豈像壯士的年歲，

你的日子豈像人的日子，你的年歲豈像壯士的年歲，

難道你的年日有限，歲月如世人般短暫？

你的日子不如人的日子，你的年歲不像人的年歲，

難道你的日子像人的日子？你的年歲像人的年歲？

爾日豈如人之日、爾年豈如人之年、

爾壽爾年、豈若人之短促哉。

主之日豈如人之日乎、主之歲豈如人之歲乎、

Are your days like those of a mortal or your years like those of a strong man,

Your days aren’t like the days of a mere human being. Your years aren’t even like the years of a strong man.

Is your lifetime only as long as ours? Is your life so short

Are your days like those of a human, or your years like those of a man,

Are Your days like the days of a mortal, Or Your years like a man’s year,

Are Your days like the days of a mortal man? Are Your years like the days of a mighty man,

Are thy days as the days of man, Or thy years as man’s days,

Are Your days like those of a human, or Your years like those of a man,

[ Are] thy days as the days of man?[ are] thy years as man’s days,

Are your days like the days of a mortal, or your years like the years of a mortal,

Are your days as the days of mortals, or your years as man’s years,

But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

“ O my God,” I say,“ take me not away in the midst of my days— you whose years endure throughout all generations!”Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,but you are the same, and your years have no end.

like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end.”

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.You return man to dust and say,“ Return, O children of man!”For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.

Behold, God is great, and we know him not; the number of his years is unsearchable.

But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever; you are remembered throughout all generations.
