Mazmur 89:45

89:45 You have cut short his youth, ¹ 

and have covered him with shame. (Selah)

Mazmur 89:48

89:48 No man can live on without experiencing death,

or deliver his life from the power of Sheol. ²  (Selah)

¹ tn Heb “the days of his youth” (see as well Job 33:25).

² tn Heb “Who [is] the man [who] can live and not see death, [who] can deliver his life from the hand of Sheol?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “No one!”
