World English Bible Classic
[1] “Man, who is born of a woman,
is of few days, and full of trouble.
[2] He grows up like a flower, and is cut down.
He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.
[3] Do you open your eyes on such a one,
and bring me into judgment with you?
[4] Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
Not one.
[5] Seeing his days are determined,
the number of his months is with you,
and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass.
[6] Look away from him, that he may rest,
until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day. [7] “For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down,
that it will sprout again,
that the tender branch of it will not cease.
[8] Though its root grows old in the earth,
and its stock dies in the ground,
[9] yet through the scent of water it will bud,
and sprout boughs like a plant.
[10] But man dies, and is laid low.
Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
[11] As the waters fail from the sea,
and the river wastes and dries up,
[12] so man lies down and doesn’t rise.
Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake,
nor be roused out of their sleep. [13] “Oh that you would hide me in Sheol,ⓘ
that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past,
that you would appoint me a set time and remember me!
[14] If a man dies, will he live again?
I would wait all the days of my warfare,
until my release should come.
[15] You would call, and I would answer you.
You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
[16] But now you count my steps.
Don’t you watch over my sin?
[17] My disobedience is sealed up in a bag.
You fasten up my iniquity. [18] “But the mountain falling comes to nothing.
The rock is removed out of its place.
[19] The waters wear the stones.
The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth.
So you destroy the hope of man.
[20] You forever prevail against him, and he departs.
You change his face, and send him away.
[21] His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it.
They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.
[22] But his flesh on him has pain,
and his soul within him mourns.”

King James Version
[1] Man H120 that is born H3205 (QalPasPtc) of a woman H802
Is of few H7116 days, H3117§ and full H7649 of trouble. H7267
[2] He cometh forth H3318 (QalPerf) like a flower, H6731 and is cut down: H5243 (QalImpf)
He fleeth H1272 (QalImpf) also as a shadow, H6738 and continueth H5975 (QalImpf) not.
[3] And dost thou open H6491 (QalPerf) thine eyes H5869 upon such an one, H2088
And bringest H935 (HiphImpf) me into judgment H4941 with thee?
[4] Who can bring H5414 (QalImpf)§ a clean H2889 thing out of an unclean? H2931
Not one. H259
[5] Seeing H518 his days H3117 are determined, H2782 (QalPasPtc) the number H4557 of his months H2320 are with thee,
Thou hast appointed H6213 (QalPerf) his bounds H2706 that he cannot pass; H5674 (QalImpf)
[6] Turn H8159 (QalImpv) from him, that he may rest, H2308 (QalImpf)§
Till he shall accomplish, H7521 (QalImpf) as an hireling, H7916 his day. H3117
[7] For there is H3426 hope H8615 of a tree, H6086
If it be cut down, H3772 (NiphImpf) that it will sprout again, H2498 (HiphImpf)
And that the tender branch H3127 thereof will not cease. H2308 (QalImpf)
[8] Though the root H8328 thereof wax old H2204 (HiphImpf) in the earth, H776
And the stock H1503 thereof die H4191 (QalImpf) in the ground; H6083
[9] Yet through the scent H7381 of water H4325 it will bud, H6524 (HiphImpf)
And bring forth H6213 (QalPerf) boughs H7105 like a plant. H5194
[10] But man H1397 dieth, H4191 (QalImpf) and wasteth away: H2522 (QalImpf)§
Yea, man H120 giveth up the ghost, H1478 (QalImpf) and where is he?
[11] As the waters H4325 fail H235 (QalPerf) from the sea, H3220
And the flood H5104 decayeth H2717 (QalImpf) and drieth up: H3001 (QalPerf)
[12] So man H376 lieth down, H7901 (QalPerf) and riseth H6965 (QalImpf) not:
Till the heavens H8064 be no more, H1115 they shall not awake, H6974 (HiphImpf)
Nor be raised out H5782 (NiphImpf) of their sleep. H8142
[13] O that H5414 (QalImpf) thou wouldest hide H6845 (HiphImpf) me in the grave, H7585
That thou wouldest keep me secret, H5641 (HiphImpf) until thy wrath H639 be past, H7725 (QalInf)
That thou wouldest appoint H7896 (QalImpf) me a set time, H2706 and remember H2142 (QalImpf) me!
[14] If a man H1397 die, H4191 (QalImpf) shall he live H2421 (QalImpf) again?
All the days H3117 of my appointed time H6635 will I wait, H3176 (PielImpf)
Till my change H2487 come. H935 (QalInf)
[15] Thou shalt call, H7121 (QalImpf) and I will answer H6030 (QalImpf) thee:
Thou wilt have a desire H3700 (QalImpf) to the work H4639 of thine hands. H3027
[16] For now thou numberest H5608 (QalImpf) my steps: H6806
Dost thou not watch H8104 (QalImpf) over my sin? H2403
[17] My transgression H6588 is sealed up H2856 (QalPasPtc) in a bag, H6872
And thou sewest up H2950 (QalImpf) mine iniquity. H5771
[18] And surely H199 the mountain H2022 falling H5307 (QalActPtc) cometh§ to nought, H5034 (QalImpf)
And the rock H6697 is removed H6275 (QalImpf) out of his place. H4725
[19] The waters H4325 wear H7833 (QalPerf) the stones: H68
Thou washest away H7857 (QalImpf)§ the things which grow H5599 out of the dust H6083 of the earth; H776
And thou destroyest H6 (HiphPerf) the hope H8615 of man. H582
[20] Thou prevailest H8630 (QalImpf) for ever H5331 against him, and he passeth: H1980 (QalImpf)
Thou changest H8138 (PielPtc) his countenance, H6440 and sendest him away. H7971 (PielImpf)
[21] His sons H1121 come to honour, H3513 (QalImpf) and he knoweth H3045 (QalImpf) it not;
And they are brought low, H6819 (QalImpf) but he perceiveth H995 (QalImpf) it not of them.
[22] But his flesh H1320 upon him shall have pain, H3510 (QalImpf)
And his soul H5315 within him shall mourn. H56 (QalImpf)
Is of few H7116 days, H3117§ and full H7649 of trouble. H7267
[2] He cometh forth H3318 (QalPerf) like a flower, H6731 and is cut down: H5243 (QalImpf)
He fleeth H1272 (QalImpf) also as a shadow, H6738 and continueth H5975 (QalImpf) not.

[8] Though the root H8328 thereof wax old H2204 (HiphImpf) in the earth, H776
And the stock H1503 thereof die H4191 (QalImpf) in the ground; H6083
[9] Yet through the scent H7381 of water H4325 it will bud, H6524 (HiphImpf)
And bring forth H6213 (QalPerf) boughs H7105 like a plant. H5194

All the days H3117 of my appointed time H6635 will I wait, H3176 (PielImpf)
