Psalm 39:3-5
Names of God Bible

3         My heart burned like a fire flaring up within me.
    Then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Teach me, O Yahweh, about the end of my life.
    Teach me about the number of days I have left
        so that I may know how temporary my life is.
5 Indeed, you have made the length of my days only a few inches.
    My life span is nothing compared to yours.
    Certainly, everyone alive is like a whisper in the wind. Selah

Psalm 39:3-5
New International Version

3     my heart grew hot(A) within me.
While I meditated,(B) the fire(C) burned;
    then I spoke with my tongue:

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]
