Psalms 39:6

הִנֵּ֤ה טְפָח֨וֹת ׀ נָ֘תַ֤תָּה יָמַ֗י וְחֶלְדִּ֣י כְ֭אַיִן נֶגְדֶּ֑ךָ אַ֥ךְ כָּל הֶ֝בֶל כָּל אָדָ֥ם נִצָּֽב׃
hineh ṭpaḥvot natatah yamay vḥeldiy kʾayin negdeka ʾak kal hebel kal ʾadam niṣab
King James Version (KJV)

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

Modern English

Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath!
