Psalm 39:3-5
21st Century King James Version

3 My heart was hot within me; while I was musing, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:

4 “Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is, that I may know how frail I am.

5 Behold, Thou hast made my days as a handbreadth, and mine age is as nothing before Thee; verily every man in his best state is altogether vanity. Selah

4 “Show me, Lord, my life’s end
    and the number of my days;(D)
    let me know how fleeting(E) my life is.(F)
5 You have made my days(G) a mere handbreadth;
    the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,(H)
    even those who seem secure.[a]
