His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth.
In that very day, his thoughts perish.

Selected verse
His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth.
In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in the LORD, his God,
6
who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps truth forever;
7
who executes justice for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD frees the prisoners.
