5 You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream,

like grass that is renewed in the morning:

6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;

in the evening it fades and withers.

5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up. 6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

5 You sweep people away like dreams that disappear.

They are like grass that springs up in the morning.

6 In the morning it blooms and flourishes,

but by evening it is dry and withered.

5 You carry them away like a flood;

They are like a sleep.

In the morning they are like grass which grows up:

6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up;

In the evening it is cut down and withers.

5 While people sleep, you take their lives.

They are like grass that grows up in the morning.

6 In the morning they are fresh and new,

but by evening they dry up and die.

5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:

In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up;

In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass that groweth up: 6 In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth.

5 You sweep mortals away. 

They are a dream. 

They sprout again in the morning like cut grass. 

6 In the morning they blossom and sprout. 

In the evening they wither and dry up. 

5 You end their lives; they sleep.

They are like grass that grows in the morning—

6 in the morning it sprouts and grows;

by evening it withers and dries up.

5 You sweep them away; they are like a dream,

like grass that is renewed in the morning;

6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;

in the evening it fades and withers.

5 You sweep them away like a flood.

They fall asleep.

In the morning they are like grass that sprouts anew.

6 In the morning it blossoms and sprouts anew;

by evening it withers and dries up.

5 You sweep people away, and they die.

They are like new grass that grows in the morning.

6 In the morning it springs up new,

but by evening it’s all dried up.

5 You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep;

In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.

6 In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew;

Toward evening it fades and withers away.
