Verse 5

Are thy days as the days of man - אנוש enosh , wretched, miserable man. Thy years as man's days; גבר gaber , the strong man. Thou art not short-lived, like man in his present imperfect state; nor can the years of the long-lived patriarchs be compared with thine. The difference of the phraseology in the original justifies this view of the subject. Man in his low estate cannot be likened unto thee; nor can he in his greatest excellence, though made in thy own image and likeness, be compared to thee.
