Psalm 39:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible

2 I was dumb and spake nothing: I kept silence even from good, [a]and my sorrow was more stirred.

3 Mine heart was hot within me, and while I was musing, the fire kindled, and I [b]spake with my tongue, saying,

4 Lord, let me know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: let me know how long I have to live.
