^16 (A)I loathe my life;
I would not live forever.
^(B)Let me alone,
For ^(C)my days are but ^[a]a breath.

⁵ Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but ^(A)vapor. Selah

¹⁷ All nations before Him are as ^(A)nothing,
And ^(B)they are counted by Him less than nothing and worthless.
