Yahweh, what is man that you take notice of him or the son of man that you think about him?
These questions can be translated as statements. AT: "Man is so small compared to everything else you have made that I am surprised that you take notice of man and that you think about the son of man" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
man ... son of man
two words for human beings. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)
like a breath ... like a passing shadow
The writer compares humans to these thing to emphasize how short their lives are. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
