David continues his prayer of praise to Yahweh.

## But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly these things? ##

David means that he and his people deserve no praise for giving anything to God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

## we are strangers and travelers before you ##

AT: "You know that we are insignificant" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

## Our days on the earth are like a shadow ##

Shadows appear and disappear quickly. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
