1 Nije li čovek na vojsci na zemlji? A dani njegovi nisu li kao dani nadničarski? 2 Kao što sluga uzdiše za senom i kao što nadničar čeka da svrši, 3 Tako su meni dati u nasledstvo meseci zaludni i noći mučne određene mi. 4 Kad legnem, govorim: Kad ću ustati? I kad će proći noć? I sitim se prevrćući se do svanuća. 5 Telo je moje obučeno u crve i u grude zemljane, koža moja puca i raščinja se. 6 Dani moji brži biše od čunka, i prođoše bez nadanja. 7 Opomeni se da je moj život vetar, da oko moje neće više videti dobra, 8 Niti će me videti oko koje me je viđalo; i tvoje oči kad pogledaju na me, mene neće biti. 9 Kao što se oblak razilazi i nestaje ga, tako ko siđe u grob, neće izaći, 10 Neće se više vratiti kući svojoj, niti će ga više poznati mesto njegovo. 11 Zato ja neću braniti ustima svojim, govoriću u tuzi duha svog, naricati u jadu duše svoje. 12 Eda li sam more ili kit, te si namestio stražu oko mene? 13 Kad kažem: Potešiće me odar moj, postelja će mi moja olakšati tužnjavu, 14 Tada me strašiš snima i prepadaš me utvarama, 15 Te duša moja voli biti udavljena, voli smrt nego kosti moje. 16 Dodijalo mi je; neću do veka živeti; prođi me se; jer su dani moji taština. 17 Šta je čovek da ga mnogo ceniš i da mariš za nj? 18 Da ga pohodiš svako jutro, i svaki čas kušaš ga? 19 Kad ćeš se odvratiti od mene i pustiti me da progutam pljuvanku svoju? 20 Zgrešio sam; šta ću Ti činiti, o čuvaru ljudski? Zašto si me metnuo sebi za belegu, te sam sebi na tegobu? 21 Zašto mi ne oprostiš greh moj i ne ukloniš moje bezakonje? Jer ću sad leći u prah, i kad me potražiš, mene neće biti.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
"For I shall not live alway, that I should suffer long." Next, his being conscious to himself of many good works.
