Psalms 39:3-7

³My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned; Then spake I with my tongue:

⁴Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am.

⁵Behold, thou hast made my days as handbreadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah

⁶Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

⁷And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.
