    as were all of our ancestors.
Our days on the earth pass away like shadows,
    and we have no hope.

was provided by you[a]
    and all of it belongs to you.

    that it is you who searches the heart
        and you who finds pleasure in righteousness.

    and now I have seen all of these people of yours
        giving freely and joyfully to you!
