Psalms 103:15

A person’s life is like grass. ¹  Like a flower in the field it flourishes,

As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;

As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die.

Men and women don't live very long; like wildflowers they spring up and blossom,

As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.

As for mortals, their days are like grass; they flourish like a flower of the field;

As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

A person’s life is like grass. ¹  Like a flower in the field it flourishes,

¹ tn Heb “[as for] mankind, like grass [are] his days.” The Hebrew noun אֱנוֹשׁ (’enosh) is used here generically of human beings. What is said is true of all mankind.
