PSALMS 39:3-7

³My heart was hot within me; while I was musing the fire kindled: then spake I with my tongue:

⁴LORD, 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 mine age is as nothing before thee: surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah

⁶Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: 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.
