Psalms 144:4

People ¹  are like a vapor, their days like a shadow that disappears. ² 

Man is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow.

Man is like a mere breath; His days are like a passing shadow.

For we are like a breath of air; our days are like a passing shadow.

All we are is a puff of air; we're like shadows in a campfire.

Man is like a breath: his life is like a shade which is quickly gone.

They are like a breath; their days are like a passing shadow.

Man is like a breath; His days are like a passing shadow.

People ¹  are like a vapor, their days like a shadow that disappears. ² 

¹ tn Heb “man,” or “mankind.”

² tn Heb “his days [are] like a shadow that passes away,” that is, like a late afternoon shadow made by the descending sun that will soon be swallowed up by complete darkness. See Ps 102:11.
