Psalm 39:3-5

New Century Version

³ I became very angry inside,
    and as I thought about it, my anger burned.
    So I spoke:
⁴ “Lord, tell me when the end will come
    and how long I will live.
    Let me know how long I have.
⁵ You have given me only a short life;
    my lifetime is like nothing to you.
    Everyone’s life is only a breath. Selah
