Yahweh, make me know … the extent of my days

(See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)

Show me how transient I am

AT: "Show me how quick my life is" or "Show me how soon I will die"

See, you have made my days only the width of my hand

AT: "It seems that you have caused me to live only a short time;" (UDB). (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

Surely every man is a single breath.

AT: "The time that humans live is too short." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
