Psalms 39:3-7

³My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned. I spoke with my tongue:

⁴“Yahweh, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

⁵Behold, you have made my days hand widths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath.” Selah.

⁶“Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.

⁷Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.
