⁵ You ^(A)have ^[a]swept them away like a flood, they ^[b](B)fall asleep;
In the morning they are like ^(C)grass that ^[c]sprouts anew.
⁶ In the morning it ^(D)flourishes and ^[d]sprouts anew;
Toward evening it ^(E)wilts and ^(F)withers away.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are ^(A)like grass;
Like a ^(B)flower of the field, so he flourishes.

⁶ A voice says, “Call out.”
Then ^[a]he answered, “What shall I call out?”
^(A)All flesh is grass, and all its ^[b]loveliness is like the flower of the field.
⁷ The ^(B)grass withers, the flower fades,
^[c]When the ^(C)breath of the Lord blows upon it;
The people are indeed grass!
