His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 146 of Psalms. Psalm 146 inaugurates the final series of hymns that begin and end with Hallelujah. The psalmist warns against trusting in princes and human beings because their lives are fleeting. In contrast, God remains faithful and acts specifically on behalf of the oppressed, hungry, prisoners, blind, foreigners, orphans, and widows. Divine justice is manifested in his care for those without power, while his kingdom remains forever.

Denn des Menschen Geist muß davon, und er muß wieder zu Erde werden; alsdann sind verloren alle seine Anschläge.
Saldrá su espíritu, tornarase en su tierra: En aquel día perecerán sus pensamientos.
Exhala su aliento y vuelve a su tierra; ese mismo día perecen sus planes.
Leur souffle s'en va, ils rentrent dans la terre, Et ce même jour leurs desseins périssent.
Il suo fiato uscirà, ed egli se ne ritornerà nella sua terra; In quel dì periranno i suoi disegni
Sai-lhe o espírito, volta para a terra; naquele mesmo dia perecem os seus pensamentos.
他的氣一斷,就歸回塵土, 他所打算的,當日就消滅了。
