What are our lives? What is our loving-kindness? What is our righteousness? What is our salvation? What is our strength? What is our might? What shall we say before You, LORD our God and God of our ancestors? Are not all the mighty like nothing before You, the men of renown as if they had never been, the wise as if they know nothing, and the understanding as if they lack intelligence? For their many works are in vain, and the days of their lives like a fleeting breath before You. The pre-eminence of man over the animals is nothing, for all is but a fleeting breath, Citation Eccl. 3
Commentary לְעוֹלָם A person should always: This whole section until "who sanctifies His name among the multitudes" (page 40), appears in the tenth-century Midrash, Tanna DeVei Eliyahu (chapter 21). Some believe that it dates from a period of persecution under the Persian ruler Yazdegerd II who, in 456 CE, forbade the observance of Shabbat and the reading of the Torah. Jews continued to practice their faith in secret, saying prayers at times and in ways that would not be detected by their persecutors. This explains the reference to fearing God "privately" and "speaking it [truth] in his heart" (that is, the secret practice of Judaism) and the recitation here of the first lines of the Shema, which could not be said at the normal time. The final blessing, "Who sanctifies His name among the multitudes," refers to the martyrdom of those who went to their deaths rather than renounce their faith. Martyrdom is called Kiddush HaShem, "sanctifying [God's] name."
Commentary רִבּוֹן כָּל הָעוֹלָמִים Master of all worlds: This passage also appears in the Ne'ila prayer on Yom Kippur. It expresses the paradox of the human condition in the presence of God. We know how small we are and how brief our lives. Fleeting breath: the Hebrew word hevel - the key word of the opening chapters of Ecclesiastes, from which this line is taken - has been translated as "vain, meaningless, empty, futile." However, it literally means "a short breath."
