Remember then that my life is breath, and my eye shall not yet again see good.

Remember Your compassions, O Lord, and Your mercies, for they are from everlasting.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance; remember me according to Your mercy, for Your goodness' sake, O Lord.

Look upon my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins.

Remember what my being is; for have You created all the sons of men in vain?

Remember us, O Lord, with the favor [You have] toward Your people; visit us with Your salvation;

And God formed the man of the dust of the earth, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

[ 3:20] In the sweat of your face shall you eat your bread until you return to the ground out of which you were taken, for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.

What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the plowman plow the earth all day? Shall the clay say to the potter, What are you doing that you do not work, nor have hands? Shall the thing formed answer Him that formed it?

And now, O Lord, You are our Father, and we are clay, all [of us] the work of Your hands.

O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter? Behold, as the clay [is in] the potter's[hand], so are you in My hands.

I have called upon death to be my father, and corruption [to be] my mother and sister.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue is glued to My throat; and You have brought Me down to the dust of death.

Turn not man back to [his] low place, whereas You said, Return, you sons of men?

[before] the dust also return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return to God who gave it.

Or does not the potter have authority over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and the other for dishonor?
