3My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, the fire was kindled, till at last the words came to my tongue.
4“Teach me, O Lord, my end, and the sum of my days what it is. Let me know how transient I am.
5See! My days you have made but a span, and my life is as nothing before you. It is but as a breath that everyone stands: Selah
