3I was dumb, and humbled myself, and kept silence from good words; And my grief was renewed.
4My heart grew hot within me, And a fire would kindle in my meditation: I spoke with my tongue,
5O Lord, make me to know mine end, And the number of my days, what it is; That I may know what I lack.
6Behold, thou hast made my days old; And my existence is as nothing before thee: Nay, every man living is altogether vanity. Pause.
7Surely man walks in a shadow; Nay, he is disquieted in vain: He lays up treasures, and knows not for whom he shall gather them.
