determined
, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed
his
bounds
that
he cannot
pass
;
If

his days, The number of his months `
are '

not
over

accomplish,
as an hireling ,
his day.

away
from off
him that he may cease

the
root thereof
wax
old in the earth, and the
stock
thereof
die in the ground;

its
root becometh
old in the earth, And its
stem
doth
die in the dust,
Yet
through
the scent
of water it will
bud
, and bring
forth
boughs
like
a plant.
From
the fragrance
of water it doth
flourish
, And hath
made
a crop
as
a
plant.
But
man dieth, and wasteth

man expireth
, and where `
is '
he?
As
the

from the
sea, and the

from a
sea, And a
river
becometh
waste
and dry.
So
man lieth
down, and riseth not :

out
of
their sleep.

lain
down, and riseth not ,

O that thou
wouldest
hide
me
in the
grave,
that
thou wouldest
keep
me secret
, until
thy
wrath
be
past
, that
thou
wouldest
appoint
me a set
time
, and remember me !
O that in Sheol
Thou wouldst
conceal
me, Hide
me
till
the
turning
of
Thine
anger
, Set
for
me a limit
, and remember me .

The

away the
things
which
grow
out
of

away ,
