New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
47 Remember how short my life is, how empty and futile this human existence!
47
Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created all humanity!
48 No one can live forever; all will die. No one can escape the power of the grave. Interlude
48
Who can live and not see death, or who can escape the power of the grave?
49 Lord, where is your unfailing love? You promised it to David with a faithful pledge.
49
Lord, where is your former great love, which in your faithfulness you swore to David?
50 Consider, Lord, how your servants are disgraced! I carry in my heart the insults of so many people.
50
Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,
51 Your enemies have mocked me, O LORD ; they mock your anointed king wherever he goes.
51
the taunts with which your enemies, LORD, have mocked, with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one.
52 Praise the LORD forever! Amen and amen!
52
Praise be to the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.
