Psalm 39:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ My heart burned like a fire flaring up within me.
Then I spoke with my tongue:
⁴ “Teach me, O Lord, about the end of my life.
Teach me about the number of days I have left
so that I may know how temporary my life is.
⁵ Indeed, you have made the length of my days ⌞only⌟ a few inches.
My life span is nothing compared to yours.
Certainly, everyone alive is like a whisper in the wind. Selah
