‏ Psalms 39:5

Verse 5. My days as a handbreadth] My life is but a span; σπιθαμητουβιου.

And mine age is as nothing] keein, as if at were not before thee. All time is swallowed up in thy eternity.

Verily every man at his best state] col adam nitstab, "every man that exists, is vanity." All his projects, plans, schemes, &c., soon come to nothing. His body also moulders with the dust, and shortly passes both from the sight and remembrance of men.
