Psalm 39:2-4
Amplified Bible

2 
I was mute and silent [before my enemies],
I refrained even from good,
And my [a]distress grew worse.
3 
My heart was hot within me.
While I was musing the fire burned;
Then I spoke with my tongue:
4 
“Lord, let me know my [life’s] end
And [to appreciate] the extent of my days;
Let me know how frail I am [how transient is my stay here].
