3You return man to dust, and say, “Return, sons of man.”

4For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past, or like a watch in the night.

5You sweep them away; they are like sleep. In the morning they are like grass that sprouts anew.

6In the morning it sprouts and grows anew; by evening it withers and dries up.
