This speaks of people’s lives being short as if they were a shadow that is only visible for a short time. A person’s lifetime is represented by his “days.” Alternate translation: “Our time here on earth is like a shadow that disappears quickly” (See also: figs-synecdoche)
29:10-19 David’s prayer of praise concluded his addresses at Solomon’s coronation. The prayer extols God’s power and the glory of his kingdom, and it serves to dedicate the offerings given for building the Temple. The prayer is composed of three parts: the doxology (29:10b-13), the presentation and dedication of the offerings (29:14-17), and the petition (29:18-19).
