The chiastic structure for Psa 39 (below) is new for today.
Hebrew root word parables.
Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Psa 39:5
TO STAND. Strong’s H5324 נצב natsab; translated, “at his best estate,” meaning, showing his best standing.
ALTOGETHER. Strong’s H3605 כל kol;
VANITY. Strong’s H1892 הבל hebel, an abstract concept, from Strong’s H1891 הבל habal, a primitive root meaning, “to be or become vain.”
hey ה = man w/ raised arms, so look, reveal, wonder, worship, breath
bet ב = house, thus house, household, family, in, within
lamed ל = shepherd’s staff, thus teach, yoke, to, bind
The story: Breath (hey) within (bet) sent forth (lamed, in the sense of toward); that is, to exhale. Anything which flows away as breath flows away from the body when exhaled, is considered lost, empty, or vain.
