1 Chronicles 29:15

For we are resident foreigners and nomads in your presence, like all our ancestors; ¹  our days are like a shadow on the earth, without security. ² 

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

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

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 shadow, gone so soon without a trace.

As far as you're concerned, we're homeless, shiftless wanderers like our ancestors, our lives mere shadows, hardly anything to us.

For we, as all our fathers were, are like men from a strange country before you, who have got a place for a time in the land; our days on the earth are like a shade, and there is no hope of going on.

For we are aliens and transients before you, as were all our ancestors; 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 resident foreigners and nomads in your presence, like all our ancestors; ¹  our days are like a shadow on the earth, without security. ² 

¹ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 18, 20).

² tn Or perhaps “hope.”
