Psalm 90:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

3 You turn humanity back into dust,[a]
    saying, “Return, you children of Adam!”(A)
4 A thousand years in your eyes
    are merely a day gone by,(B)
Before a watch passes in the night,
5     [b]you wash them away;(C)
They sleep,
    and in the morning they sprout again like an herb.

Footnotes

  1. 90:3 Dust: one word of God is enough to return mortals to the dust from which they were created. Human beings were created from earth in Gn 2:7; 3:19.
  2. 90:5 You wash them away: the Hebrew of Ps 90:4–5 is unclear.
