Psalm 39:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible

4 “Yahweh, cause me to know (A)my end
And what is the extent of my days;
Let me know how (B)transient I am.
5 Behold, You have made (C)my days as [a]handbreadths,
And my (D)lifetime as nothing before You;
Surely every man, even standing firm, is [b]altogether (E)vanity. [c]Selah.
6 Surely every man (F)walks about as [d]a shadow;
Surely they make an (G)uproar in vain;
He (H)piles up riches and does not know who will gather them.
