Psalms 38:5-10

⁵I spoke with my tongue: O Lord, make me know my end. And what is the number of my days: that I may know what is wanting to me.

⁶Behold thou hast made my days measurable: and my substance is as nothing before thee. And indeed all things are vanity: every man living.

⁷Surely man passeth as an image: yea, and he is disquieted in vain. He storeth up: and he knoweth not for whom he shall gather these things.

⁸And now what is my hope? is it not the Lord? and my substance is with thee.

⁹Deliver thou me from all my iniquities: thou hast made me a reproach to the fool.

¹⁰I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it.
