5 A person’s days are determined;

you have decreed the number of his months

and have set limits he cannot exceed.

5 Seeing his days are determined,

The number of his months are with thee,

Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

5 You have decided the length of our lives.

You know how many months we will live,

and we are not given a minute longer.

5 Since his days are determined,

The number of his months is with You;

You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.

5 Our time is limited.

You have given us only so many months to live

and have set limits we cannot go beyond.

5 Seeing his days are determined,

The number of his months is with thee,

And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

5 If his days are determined, if the number of his months is with thee, and thou hast appointed his bounds which he must not pass,

5 If the number of his days 

and the number of his months are determined by you, 

and you set his limit, 

then he cannot go past it. 

5 Since man’s days are determined

and the number of his months depends on You,

and since You have set limits he cannot pass,

5 Since their days are determined,

and the number of their months is known to you,

and you have appointed the bounds that they cannot pass,

5 If his days are determined, the number of his months is with you;

you have appointed his boundaries, and he cannot cross them.

5 You decide how long anyone will live.

You have established the number of his months.

You have set a limit to the number of his days.

5 “Since his days are determined,

The number of his months is with You;

And his limits You have set so that he cannot pass.
