我日速於郵傳、趨而不見福祉、

日月逝矣、速於郵傳、流光已邁、我未見福之至也。

我日速逝、較驛卒而尤速、趨而不見福祉、

You have been angry with us all of our days. We groan as we come to the end of our lives.We live to be about 70. Or we may live to be 80, if we stay healthy. But even our best days are filled with trouble and sorrow. The years quickly pass, and we are gone.

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.

You have given me only a few days to live. My whole life doesn’t seem like anything to you. No one lasts any longer than a breath. This is true even for those who feel secure.

Remember how short my life is. You have created all people for such a useless purpose!

You correct and punish people for their sin. Then, just as a moth eats cloth, you destroy their wealth. No one lasts any longer than a breath.
