New International Version (NIV)

47Remember how fleeting is my life.

For what futility you have created all humanity!

47Remember what my lifespan is;

For what futility You have created all the sons of mankind!

47Remember how fleeting my lifetime is;

For what vanity, [for what emptiness, for what futility, for what wisp of smoke] You have created all the sons of men!

47Remember the briefness of my lifespan!

For what futility You have created all men!

47Oh remember how short my time is:

For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men!

47Remember of what time I am: wherefore shouldest thou create in vaine all the children of men?

47Remember how short my time is,

for what vanity you have created all the children of men!

47Remember how short my life is.

You have created all people for such a useless purpose!

47Remember that my life is very short!

People are weak and their lives seem useless.

Why do you make people like that?

47Remember how [short] my lifetime [is]. Why have You created in vain || All the sons of men?
