I know that my redeemer lives.

You have made my days a mere handbreadth;

the span of my years is as nothing before you.

Everyone is but a breath,

even those who seem secure.

“Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; 
in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth 
without knowing whose it will finally be.

“But now, Lord, what do I look for? 
My hope is in you.

Psalm 39:5-7

I know that my redeemer lives,

and that in the end he will stand on the earth.

And after my skin has been destroyed,

yet in my flesh I will see God;

I myself will see him

with my own eyes—I, and not another.

How my heart yearns within me!

Job 19:25-27
