Psalms 78:39

He remembered ¹  that they were made of flesh, and were like a wind that blows past and does not return. ² 

He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.

Thus He remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes and does not return.

For he remembered that they were merely mortal, gone in a moment like a breath of wind, never to return.

He knew what they were made of; he knew there wasn't much to them,

So he kept in mind that they were only flesh; a breath which is quickly gone, and will not come again.

He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and does not come again.

For He remembered that they were but flesh, A breath that passes away and does not come again.

He remembered ¹  that they were made of flesh, and were like a wind that blows past and does not return. ² 

¹ tn The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive signals a return to the narrative.

² tn Heb “and he remembered that they [were] flesh, a wind [that] goes and does not return.”
