Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Psalm 39:6:

• Chichewa Contempary Chichewa translation, 2002/2016:

  He only suffers but without profit;
  he accumulates wealth, without knowing who will own it.” (Source: Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero Back Translation)

  “People are like shadows moving hither and thither.
  Their work has no value.
  They gather wealth and property,
  but as for who will take it, they do not know.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon:
  “or just like a shadow that vanishes/disappears.
