1. Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow (this verse reminds us that we are only on earth for a brief amount of time - we need to make the most of it (in a way that pleases God and in a way that ensures that people will remember us when we are no longer here).
2. I will sing a new song to you, O God, upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you (this verse is a reminder of how we should consistently be praising God - for His goodness towards us, and also for all of the blessings He has bestowed on us)
3. Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord (the Bible promises that - if we put our trust in God (and in His son, Jesus) that we will be blessed. What a wonderful promise!)
