Verse 47 is found in chapter 89 of Psalms. Psalm 89 combines praise for divine mercy with a profound crisis concerning the Davidic promise. The first part remembers the covenant with David and the promise of stability for his throne; the second describes a situation in which the king appears rejected and humiliated. The tension between promise and reality constitutes the center of the psalm. The conclusion does not completely resolve the crisis, but ends by affirming the blessing of the Lord.

HERR, wie lange willst du dich so gar verbergen und deinen Grimm wie Feuer brennen lassen?
Acuérdate de cuán corto sea mi tiempo: ¿Por qué habrás criado en vano a todos los hijos del hombre?
Recuerda qué breve es mi vida. ¿Para qué has creado en vano a todos los seres humanos?
Rappelle-toi ce qu'est la durée de ma vie, Et pour quel néant tu as créé tous les fils de l'homme.
Ricordati quanto poco tempo io ho da vivere nel mondo; Perchè avresti tu creati in vano tutti i figliuoli degli uomini?
Lembra-te de quão breves são os meus dias; por que criarias debalde todos os filhos dos homens?
求你想念我的生命是何等短暫。 你創造世人,要使他們歸於何等的虛空呢?
