Holy Scripture
Psalms 56:7
A church father on this verse
“For God has made our days short, and our substance is as nothing in his sight. "All things are vanity, everyone living," whether living in the body or living in virtues, and yet all things are vanity. His condition is one of fluctuation and uncertainty, and, while he does not fear, he suffers a storm in fair weather.…”

In context
5And he has delivered my soul from the midst of lions’ whelps: I lay down to sleep, though troubled. As for the sons of men, their teeth are arms and missile weapons, And their tongue a sharp sword.
6Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; And thy glory above all the earth.
— Psalms 56:7 —
8My heart, O God, is ready, My heart is ready: I will sing, yea will sing psalms.
9Awake, my glory; Awake, psaltery and harp: I will awake early.
