In Psalm 104:29, when God takes away breath, creatures die and return to dust — the same divine action as 'return man to dust' in Psalm 90:3.

In Psalm 146:4, when breath departs, man returns to earth — mirroring the mortality theme of Psalm 90:3's 'return to dust'.

In Genesis 3:19, God tells Adam he will return to dust — the same mortality echoed here.

In Job 34:15, it says mankind would return to dust — directly parallel to this verse.

In Ecclesiastes 12:7, the dust returns to the ground — the same image of human mortality.

Job 10:9 echoes the same imagery: God formed us from clay and will return us to dust.

2 Samuel 14:14 compares death to spilled water — a parallel image of human mortality and finality.
