New International Version (NIV)

39He remembered that they were but flesh,

a passing breeze that does not return.

39So He remembered that they were only flesh,

A wind that passes and does not return.

39For He [graciously] remembered that they were mere [human] flesh,

A wind that goes and does not return.

39He remembered that they were but flesh,

a passing breeze that does not return.

39And he remembered that they were but flesh,

A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

39For he remembered that they were flesh: yea, a winde that passeth and commeth not againe.

39He remembered that they were but flesh,

a wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again.

39He remembered that they were only human.

He remembered they were only a breath of air

that drifts by and doesn’t return.

39He remembered that they were weak and human,

like a wind that blows away and does not return.

39And He remembers that they [are] flesh, || A wind going on—and it does not return.
